No real content and nothing interesting to say. Read something else - anything else - and you might learn something. That isn't the case for this little (and I do mean little) book. Skip it.

I usually enjoy listening to audiobooks in the car even if they are not the highest quality, but I could not finish this one. The author is very philosophical about the concept of bullshit, which seems like an oxymoron! Perhaps if I was not exhausted, I may have been able to follow him, but I took the CD out, afraid it would put me to sleep. I hope someone can appreciate this book, but it was not for me!

Pretty small and thin book for such a broad subject.

A tiny little book that is a delight to have on your shelf just for the title...

"Immediately, I must say: read it. Beautifully written, lucid, ironic and profound, it is a model of what philosophy can and should do. It is a small and highly provocative masterpiece, and I really don't think I am bullshitting you here."--Bryan Appleyard, The Sunday Times (London)
