Move over, Ralph Nader. Here comes Wilber Winkle...Consumer advocate extraordinaire!

Recently, I've been reading a lot of the prank letter books that have been released. From Ted L. Nancy, to Paul Rosa, and others.
Wilber Winkle was one of the last in the series I picked up. To be honest, after a couple of lesser books, I thought the genre was dead. It isn't. Wilber Winkle is actually one of the best, up there with Nancy, only more serious.

This book is great. I'm still laughing. This one is on my highly recommended list. I started reading it at 6:00 in the evening and didn't put it down until it was complete, around 2:00.
