Recenzii
""Dear Luke, We Need to Talk, Darth" is proof that a funny book on pop culture doesn't have to be snide and nasty. I loved everything about it." --Jim Gaffigan
"John Moe has been making me laugh for 1,249 years (we are both immortal), and "Dear Luke" is, not surprisingly, EXTREMELY FUNNY. I expect him to entertain us all for another 1,249, unless I am able to hunt him down and cut off his head before then, because there can be only one." --John Hodgman
""Dear Luke, We Need to Talk. Darth" ranks among the finest collections of nonsense ever assembled. For those seeking hilarity in short bursts of pop culture inanity, this book is for you." --Michael Ian Black
This book of brilliant parodies, riffs and flights of pop culture fantasy shows why John Moe has so quickly risen to become the second funniest man in public radio.--Peter Sagal, host, NPR's Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me
"This book made me laugh while learning, which is the best kind of funny. Knowledge that comes from a laugh is so much better than coughing that comes from a laugh."
--Margaret Cho
