Like most of the population of the Dope, I’ve always thought that The Secret, by Rhonda Byrne and made popular by Oprah Winfrey, was just so much woo woo hooey. But after reading this review, I find my eyes opened, and now I fully understand how The Secret can, indeed, change lives.
That’s awesome!
Valete,

I love it.
That’s hysterical.
Thanks for posting the link. It’s not a book I’d be looking at, so I would have missed the review. I hope Amazon leaves it up.
I think that’s the first time a review on Amazon has made me laugh out loud. Thanks for sharing it! 
Have you seen Mr.Brouillette’s other reviews? A short list, but a worthy one.
Awesome!
The comments are hilarious, too. Worthy of the Straight Dope.
The comments are similarly awesome.

Excellent review. I want to see this guy review Tuscan Milk.
A few of my friends had me watch the DVD of The Secret, and while I can see what they’re getting at (optimism is helpful, but if you keep thinking about something you don’t want to happen you’re practically wishing it upon yourself) I spent most of the thing thinking “Why does this music sound familiar? Why is this so cheesy?”
I was going to post that, but I’m glad someone respectable beat me to it.
Priceless
That is an absolute scream! Thanks for the laugh.
That is hilarious. I wonder what’s up with the Jim Norton name-dropping, though? Wouldn’t shock me to find out Jim wrote that.
The first time a review on Amazon made me laugh out loud was when someone posted a review of Citizen Kane that simply said:
“Anyone who says they like this movie is a lier”
This guy is my hero, not for just this review, but all his reviews.
Great stuff, including the other reviews.
But I would like to point out that Wanderlust - A History of Walking is actually a really good book if you’re interested.
And the bucket is pretty damn impressive as well.

Check out his other reviews. This guy’s like the Woody Allen of Amazon reviewers. Legend!
I have read them, and they’re a hoot, too. We should start an email campaign to persuade Ari to become a Doper.
