Summary: Indespensible
Comment: It is an indespensible book for anyone in IT. I don't know how I survived without Mr. Bunny's Guide. It is that informative. Whether you're a programmer, database administrator, web developer systems administrator or project manager. This is the book to get.

Summary: Very funny parody of ActiveX and computer geeks
Comment: First off, if you want to learn about ActiveX, then this is not the book for you. However, if you want to be entertained by a parody of ActiveX, where wordplay, innuendo and absurdity about ActiveX are used to create some very funny jokes, then it is right for you. Mr. Bunny, the smart one with the glasses and pocket protector, and Farmer Jake, the guy in the overalls with the rake, are the main characters in a story about a "quest" for knowledge.
Everything in the book is a joke; there is a very good one about CLSID registry entries, "Contrary to popular belief, the CLSID registry entries, when spelled backwards, do not contain the subliminal message `I worship Satan'." If you have ever had to write and use CLSID registry entries, you know how much devil there is in the details. Points of additional reading contain entries such as:

* New York City Phone Book.
* United States Internal Revenue Code.
* ActiveX For Bunnies.

I found the last especially funny, the parody in relation to the "For Dummies" series and this book is quite good. Even the exercises are jokes; the following are given as end of chapter exercises:

* Optimize the following Visual Basic code: n = 1
* Point
* Click
* Find the missing poodle.

The book is very funny and a welcome change from the relentless detail that appears in some programming books. I recommend it very highly as comic relief.

Summary: One of the funniest things ever in any medium on any subject
Comment: I'm not exaggerating. This is one of the best examples of whimsical humour ever, and I speak as a life-long fan of Monty Python, The Goons, Steve Martin, Beachcomber, John Lennon's poems, etc. etc. The contents page alone is God-like.

Summary: It was embarrassing!
Comment: I was on a train when I started to read this book. I usually don't laugh out loud, but when I was reading this, I just couldn't help it.

This is definitely one of the funniest "geek" books I've seen (haven't seen too many). My wife doesn't get it!

Summary: You May Enjoy This One
Comment: After reading through many books on ActiveX control and programming this book was a welcome relief. It is funny and witty and short.

This book is written largly based on using ActiveX control in VB. Anyone familiar with VB (even if they don't know ActiveX)will get most of the jokes and diagrams.

I would recommand this book to anyone that has had just a little too much technical documentation and would like a mental break. Hey, you may even learn something in the process.



Editorial Reviews:

It's been pulled from the underground and pokes fun at technical books, Active X and all things Microsoft. With absolutely no promotional effort, this book has been raved about on newsgroups.
