Todd takes what would have surely been the business end of somebody's toilet paper, and turns it into a marvelous book. Bravo!

...a feast for the fingertips... doesn't let up until the coughing fits start... blood will come out your nose... will make you slither across your bathroom floor... what for, exactly, I don't know... I guess that depends upon the variety of toiletries you have stocked, plus the layout of your bathroom... I mean are we talkin' a Feng Shui thing or what?... and let's not forget the color scheme... 'cause there's no way I'm crawling across the floor of a bathroom with gray walls! ...What? So I can feel like I'm in some rest stop by the side of the interstate?! Hell no! ...You get down on your hands and knees in that filth! Count me out!... Oh look, blueberry strudel!

I haven’t read it yet but the next time I have to use the bathroom I’m gonna read the f**k out of this book!

This book unearthed a sea of emotions I didn't know I had inside of me.  I laughed... I cried... I stuffed myself with tater tots until I passed out!
