Just read this book and I really loved it,some of the contents are hysterical fun,I've been laughing so my tears were flowing.

I was very disappointed in this book. It just isn't funny. The stories are just plain lame. I'm also a firefighter, and I was expecting something that would at least make me chuckle once an a while. This book is just a collection of somewhat normal events. Most of these events take the author less than a page to write. So just think of this as 150 two paragraph emails that somebody wrote. I would not recommend this book as a gift, as a firefighter would not find this enjoyable.

The preview or "Search Inside" section isn't like the rest of the book. The introduction is the only story that takes more than a page and a half.

I wish the author the best of luck, and I would consider other titles from him. In this book, he really missed the opportunity to take some events and make them into stories others would enjoy.

Hi my name is Ben Hughes the author of the book "The Lighter Side of Firefighting". The Reviews have been really great so far and if that isn't enough to peak your interest the book has proceeds going to the Muscular Dytrophy Fund. It's for a great cause do your part!!!

This book CAN be judged by its cover, its hilarious. It was an easy read and gave me some insite into the fire services. I would recomend this book to anyone and everyone.
