One complaint: Twenty-four bloggers were featured in the book; some of those bloggers only had one entry published, while others had up to ten published. I think it would have been more interesting and diverse if each weblogger only had one entry published, thus giving more people a chance to be published.

Also, while the book is interesting, and often, hilarious, I think the "Best of Blogs" subtitle is rather misleading. Only three people judged the entries, so really, the entries are the the "best" according to only a few people. Well, at least the FAQ in the book made that clear.

It felt rather odd reading blog entries in a book, yet pleasant, too. I still read more offline that online, so it was nice to be able to read stuff that I'd normally have to read online in hardcopy. According to the editors of the book, there will be more of these types of books in the future. I'll probably check them out.

My favorite entry in the book is by Uncle Bob. They took the title of the book from his entry, which you can read over at his weblog: Job Tip #515: Never Threaten to Eat Your Co-workers. I was laughing out loud practically the whole time I was reading it!
