Product Description
From the Grammy-nominated star of Saturday Night Live and his equally talented sister comes a hysterically cynical look at life through a glass half empty. IHATETHISPLACEis the book for anyone who's ever tired of crossing to the sunny side of the street, looking for that elusive pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, or reading self-help books that are meant to bring peace and prosperity. Guaranteed to shatter illusions, extinguish all hope, and keep the jaded and the disgruntled laughing all the way, it is filled with such daily 'affirmations' as 'If you don't have anything nice to say, welcome to the club,' and advice like 'Knock, and the door shall be slammed in your face.' Rife with the wit and wisdom of Jimmy Fallon and his sister Gloria, this book promises to tickle the funny bone of the pessimist in everyone. ... Read more

I will be more careful purchasing books on Kindle.After taking 10 minutes to read the book I knew I'd made another Kindle Purchase mistake... And yes, it takes about 10 minutes to read.I didn't read all the reviews before purchasing this book because I think Jimmy Fallon is brilliant. I don't see any brilliance here. Kindle is not the best media for this book.It may be OK on the coffee table but I doubt that.Sorry Jimmy

Help for the Hopeless
My cousin was feeling down after a house fire, and requested this book.It was her first good laugh in a long time.Well worth the money!

It's pretty good.
I laughed at this book..it has the biting sarcasm that Jimmy Fallon is really good at, that not everyone understands. I liked a lot of the phrases in here..but I wish it was longer. The pages have about one sentence per page..so the price is kind of high for it. (I still bought it...but..) this is a book mainly for the fans-or someone who wants a quick laugh. If you don't like Jimmy..save your money.

Totally not worth the money
Totally not worth the money. The book is marginally amusing and not worth even the two minutes it takes to read through it. Save your money or buy it for a dime at my next garage sale.

Save your money
Seriously, somebody is padding these reviews, because there is no way that anybody in their right mind would be happy about paying $8+ for this book.
I adore Jimmy Fallon, so I really wanted to like this book, but it's just a completely unfunny version of Jack Handy's thoughts. At half the price, I might have given it 2 stars. ... Read more

Thank you, slow walking family walking in front of me on the sidewalk. No, please, take your time. And definitely spread out, too, so you create a barricade of idiots. I am so thankful that you forced me to walk on the street and risk getting hit by a car in order to pass you so I could resume walking at a normal human pace.

Jimmy Fallon has a few people and a few things to thank.In this brand-new book, the very first to come from his show, he addresses some 200 subjects in need of his undying "gratitude." Each page will feature one note and a photograph of its recipient.But why read any more about formatting when you could just read a few more samples:

Thank you, guy whose chair made a farting noise, for prompting him to spend the next 20 minutes awkwardly shifting around trying to re-create the noise, so people would know it was just the chair.

Thank you, Miley Cyrus, for being 16 and acting like a stripper at the Teen Choice Awards. If you REALLY wanna piss off your dad, why not just cut off his allowance?

From Hilary Clinton to a light bulb he is too lazy to replace, these are the moments and memories that make Jimmy's life a little bit fuller. ... Read more

Reads like a high-energy poem/song!
My 3 year old never saw snow and has been dying to see it ever since he read this book. Pleasantly surprised to see this side of Jimmy Fallon.

Bright story for kids and kids-at-heart
Snowball Fight captures the joy of a snow-day "School's closed Day"All school-aged children and adults with any kind of memory remember that feeling. The book is a breezy, fun romp battle romp with snowballs. It's a light book told in verse, great for the season; a good addition for libraries and schools. The colorful pictures by Dam Stower give a lot of appeal to this book. Jimmy Fallon has written a good-natured little book for kids (preK through 3rd) and kids-at-heart.

Attention Grabbing
I used this book for a Graduate class assignment and thought it was great!Perfect for beginning readers because the print was large, the pictures descriptive and colorful, and who doesn't love a good snowball fight! I would recommend this book to any parent or teacher looking for something new to read!

HAPPY STORY
I loved the book.Of course it wasn't for me but my grandchildren.It is a great book for kids just learning to read.Mine loved it.

Snowball Fight
Excellent! I have two kids, a six year old boy and a three and a half year old girl. They are obsessed with Jimmy's book, and the song that goes with it off his Bathroom Wall CD. My husband and I love it too. My son's kindergarten teacher actually borrowed the book to read it to his classes. It's so much fun to read and listen to and the illustration is so awesome! I truely hope Jimmy keeps up with the writing. He did such a terrific job with this book. He is definately an extremely talented man. ... Read more

Chapters: List of Sketches From Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 73. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The following is a list of sketches from the NBC late night talk show Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. A parody of the MTV series The Hills, documenting Jimmy's arrival to Late Night and his initial struggles in the beginning of the show, such as whether to wear a red tie or a blue tie on his premiere episode. The series dealt with Jimmy's passive-aggressive power struggle with Miles, Late Night's head writer. Current Saturday Night Live cast member Jenny Slate appeared as Jimmy's assistant who betrayed his trust by collaborating with Miles. New installments premiered every Monday during the summer of 2009, and have a storyline focused on continuity, much as The Hills does. Real Housewives of Late Night is a recurring parody of the various Real Housewives shows with 5 cast members playing the roles of their fictional "wives". The cast includes "Late Night" host Jimmy Fallon as power-mad Denise, announcer Steve Higgins as gravel-voiced chain smoker Lydia, Roots bassist Owen Biddle as perpetually-drunk Renee, head writer A.D. Miles as uptight Dale (who is always accompanied by her son, who is allergic to all food other than a special paste), and 'director' (in reality, writer) Bashir Salahuddin as always-hungry Yvonne. Each segment continues from the last in an over-arching story similar to the '7th Floor West' skit. The plot revolves around alliances and over-the-top rivalries between the characters resulting in exaggerated responses by the characters. Today Show's Fourth Hour hosts Kathy Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb appeared on the set of their show during one episode. Named after Late Night's location at 30 Rock, Studio 6B, 6-Bee is a parody of the FOX se...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=21830476 ... Read more

Product Description
When school is closed because of a snowstorm, a boy and his sister race outside to play. He builds a fort, and soon a fierce snowball fight with other children ensues. The battle rages until it's time to head home for cocoa. Short rhyming stanzas describe the events. Ranging in size from small insets to double-page paintings, the energetic cartoon-style illustrations capture the action and humor. Sporting colorful outerwear and a silver colander on his head, the protagonist is ready for any adventure. Large print and lots of repetition make this a good choice for beginning readers as well as an engaging read-aloud. ... Read more
