The full-color adult humor book Jenny McCarthy called "Hysterical!"
Things Go Wrong For Me is a memoir of sorts, a road map of Rodney Lacroix's haywire life thus far.
From his childhood, through the raising of his own kids, to his vasectomy and post-divorce world ... this book is more than just a culmination of outrageous stories woven into a cohesive narrative, it's a testament for the "little guy."
In this case, literally.
Rodney is 5'3". He's very little. Almost tiny. Bank tellers offer him lollipops. He makes holiday money wearing green stockings and fake ears. But even though he's small in stature, his stories and the laughs that accompany them are definitely BIG.
Excerpt
Ex–lax is bad news for fat kids.
Trust me on this as I know it from
experience.
You see, as a kid, I was a fat shit.
I was not "chunky."
I was not "big-boned."
I was fat.
I was fat before it was fashionable (as is
evidenced now by young super–fat kids wearing crap that they should NOT be
wearing. Honey, I have a tip for you: if I can see your belly button
THROUGH your shirt, you need to buy a bigger shirt.)
My jeans came from the Sears "Husky" department. Today, in an effort to
stay hip, this section is now called "Phatty Phat Phat Gangstas Yo."
My after-school snack was a roast beef sandwich.
Yes ... my "snack" was beef and bread.
A friend watched me eating after school one day and said, "What the Hell
are you eating?"
I said, nonchalantly, "My snack."
He said, "An Oreo is a snack. That's not a snack."
He was right.
So I had an Oreo after I ate my sandwich.
Professional Reviews
Model/Actress/TV Host Jenny McCarthy calls it,
"A hysterical book written by a man with no filter, a vasectomy and a name like 'Rod?' I'm all over it."
NYT Bestselling Author, Jenny Lawson (The Bloggess) endorsement
"Rodney Lacroix has created a wonderfully hilarious book, and also has a very fun name to say out loud."
Worth buying in BOTH paperback and Kindle!
Things Go Wrong For Me by Rodney Lacroix is by far hands down the funniest book I have ever read in my life. I love it and have been persistently reccommending it to all my friends and family. I have the hardcopy as well as the kindle edition. Both are beautifully done. DEFINITELY well worth the money and the time to read it. It is my new favorite book. I am totally ready to preorder the sequel and am in fact saving aside a gift card someone bought me to be able to do so. Euphemisms aside - it can't come soon enough. WE NEED book two!
