Pun Enchanted Evenings

Well, I have to be honest and confess that the real reason I requested to review “Pun Enchanted Evenings” by David R. Yale was because I was having an incredibly bad day that day and needed something, anything, which would make me laugh. Luckily for me it still needed to be reviewed and I received the book several days later.

At ninety-seven pages “Pun Enchanted Evenings” is not a long book and it is definitely a quick read. True to its title the book really does feature seven hundred and forty six puns. I would know. I checked each number as I read each pun. I am sure some of us remember having to write things like “I will not talk during class” one hundred times as homework and as a punishment for being disruptive in class. I don’t know about the rest of you but I occasionally skipped a few numbers. What do you mean thirty-six is supposed to follow thirty-five? Number forty-seven is missing? Are you sure?? You can see now why I would pay attention to the pun count…

“Pun Enchanted Evenings” was, for the most part, funny. A few of the puns were so droll that I actually had to call a friend of mine in California so that I could share them with him. Of course once I started reading them aloud I even began giggling my way through some of the not so funny ones.

In summary I think it would be safe to say that this book provides a pun for every sense of humor. “Pun Enchanted Evenings” is a quick read and can be leafed through anytime one is stressed and in need of something to laugh about. A great book to keep on your desk at work; it’s fun reading while you’re in the waiting room at your doctor’s office but be aware it might be considered disruptive if you’re reading it and laughing during jury duty. Lastly, “Pun Enchanted Evenings” would make a great gift for any occasion and will definitely keep your guests amused while they are using the bathroom. Just don’t expect them to vacate the facilities in a timely manner…
