An excellent book about everything forbidden. Mar 02, 2006
By Brian Byers
"Mighty Halo"
Written in a "Burst" per every two pages, a similar format to that of Charles Bukowski, Joel Fried shines upon things we have thought about but were too self-conscious to say, or things we have never thought about but wish we would have. In a humorous way, Joel releases the cap on how sad and sometimes pathetic we can be as people. From digital cameras to personal hygiene you will crave to know more about the person you thought you were and the person that Joel Fried really is.

 Burst of Laughter Apr 12, 2007
By Connecticut Muse
It's not very often we read something that makes us burst out loud laughing, but it sure is great when we do! And I literally guffawed more than a few times while reading Joel Fried's hysterical collection of humorous ruminations. The very short reflections appropriately described as "bursts" are just that: little explosions from a mind that clearly sees the funny side of life, even in its most mundane moments. Fried writes about everyday situations and makes us realize just how ridiculous such familiar scenarios truly are. You can't help but laugh when reading Bursts.

Get a copy now! Mar 20, 2006
By Taylor L. Archambault
I just purchased a copy, and I have no doubt that this book will be a great read. If it is anything like a five minute conversation with its author, then it is sure to provide hours of entertainment and thought provoking ideas.
Very funny! Jun 06, 2006
By Barbara Hollender
Joel Fried openly shares his humanness with us in this very funny book. He successfully uses humor as the lens to soften and lighten some of the memories and to sharpen what is hysterical in life. Joel writes the kind of stuff that most of us have go through our minds, if we are at all honest with ourselves. And, Joel has the gift of humor, that really makes you laugh out loud. With his poetry he shares his thoughts and feelings in a very real way, letting the reader in on the workings of his amazing mind. This book is definitely a book you can read again and again, and love it every time.
