Reader Reviews:
Overall, very good in parts (9/9 people found this helpful)
This book is very good if you are taking part in researching into language of humour or comparing different types of humour. It gives a very detailed account of different aspects of humour and is quite scientific as it gives you all the technical terms of 'humour-techniques' you need to know for the subject. It is very easy to understand and provides lots of examples which you can refer to if writing coursework or essays. Overall, it is informative but you wouldn't read it for fun.
