Jerome Sala. Look Slimmer Instantly!. 2005. 127 pp.

I kept waiting for the dimension beyond the hip, knowing schtick. There are a lot of good laugh lines here, but something bugged me about the book. The points made were too obvious, too didactic. I always knew what was coming next. There is a blurb from Eilleen on the back; this is the kind of poetry I am supposed to like. Somehow I don't, though I will certainly recommend the book to people who like this sort of thing. It's not bad, it just rubs me the wrong way.
