Synopsis:
Just Make Me A Sammich is a collection of humorous essays from a wild mind, Don
Ake. He explores a wide variety of topics, finding the absurd in the simple
things and hilarious perspectives on more complex topics. His warped sense of
humor will repeatedly catch you off guard. Sometimes politically incorrect,
sometimes a bit naughty, but always witty. It is literally laugh-out-loud
funny, story after crazy story.
Critique:
Just Make Me A Sammich: Absurd Observations from a wild mind is irreverent,
unfettered, eyebrow-raising, yet always funny. The stories (some of which were
originally popular blog posts) range from author Don Ake being sexually
harassed (well, technically) by a female co-worker, to supporting his beloved
daughter's decision to get married outside in the pouring rain even though he
privately opposed the idea 100%, to a "pooh bear" analogy of the
economic stimulus of 2009-2010, and much more. Don't take the tongue-in-cheek,
sarcastic-parody-of-a-sexist-cliché title too seriously or literally; Just Make
Me A Sammich is a book that both men and women will find hilarious!
