“His most mature effort yet.… What I found most impressive about his comic writing is what he does after the twist: managing a degree of pathos within a concise frame that you rarely see outside a Sondheim musical.”—Jason Zinoman, New York Times
“There’s nobody who does it better than Simon Rich.” -Vulture (The Best Comedy Books of 2024)—Vulture
“In this laugh-out-loud millennial-bait story collection, an aging Super Mario ‘takes-a-stock’ of life, a cast-off participation trophy reflects on the good days, and more.”
—People
“Thoughtful and revelatory…I marveled at Rich's ability to juxtapose a really off-the-wall idea with a tender-hearted ending...He's always been this good.”—Minneapolis Star-Tribune
“Despite the hilarity of these premises, Rich isn’t just a funnyman…. Readers will laugh, then nod, then shed a tear, finally doing all three at once. For a humorist, there is no higher praise.”—Booklist
"The travails of an aging Super Mario, the media battle between David and Goliath, and the workplace woes of the foul-mouthed Tooth Fairy are among humorist Rich’s latest concoctions....His follow-up to New Teeth is clever fun."
—Kirkus Reviews
"Always hilarious"—Washington Independent
