great at parties
I gave this as a gift to a family member and some of the other people in attendance sat there for quite a while laughing quite loud at this book. It's not the type of book one would pick up and read from cover to cover. The charm would wear off pretty quickly. It's good for picking up once in a while and turning to random pages for laughs. If you frequently have guests over and want a coffee table book to help them kill a few minutes, this would be an excellent choice.

A perfect coffee table book and coversation starter.
Being a long-term Onion fan, I bought this book for my husband for Christmas and he loves it! It is now a permanent staple on our coffee table. Even frequent guests poor through it every time they visit. It is a good size, is partially colored/ partially black and white, so it feels like a real newspaper tome. Also makes a great gift! Be aware, there are a few nude pictures throughout.

The Best Part of the Onion in One Book
My husband and I own many of the Onion collections that include more than just the front page of the Onion, so I was a little skeptical when purchasing this book of the just the front pages. But that's where most of the humor is anyway! You will laugh out loud at every single page. The only part that wasn't as funny is the very front of the book; there are some old styled Onion pages that aren't quite as good. But that's just a little blip. This would be the perfect bathroom book if it wasn't a huge hardback edition. Love the Onion!

Four Stars
As usual, the Onion delivers, especially if you relish dark humor.

The evolution of late 20th, early 21st century satire
Great stuff... "Recession-Plagued Nation Demands New Bubble To Invest In", "Kansas Outlaws Practice of Evolution", "Hijackers Surprised to Find Selves in Hell", "State Department To Hold Enemy Tryouts Next Week", "Clever Bumper Stickers Resolve Abortion Issue". The Onion... most certainly 'America's Finest Satire Source'.

Onion made me cry : reader laughs too hard
I gave this to my husband for Xmas this year (2010), and we share pages, screaming with laughter.Doesn't matter that the articles are not complete.The premises alone are so outrageous , more detail would be overkill. Read every little blurb. Some of the wittiest pieces are the most succinct.FUNNY! FUNNY! FUNNY!

You Got to Love the Onion
Great book to have sitting on the coffee table for times when you just need to laugh. If you are a fan of the Onion, you will remember many of the front pages in this book and think back at what you were doing at that time in your life. Well worth the money !
