McDonald's Prankster

 What Jevh and Christian did was ballsy and amazing. It reminds me of what Vaughn always tells us, "just fucking do it", and they literally did.

Reading the first part of the book reassured me of my short comings and renewed my hope for better things to come.   Then the book gets repetitive and most of the latter advices the author had to offer at the end is very mundane and obvious. The latter part of the book resembles any typical self-help book. It feels likes the author had to filled a certain quota of text, like his editor is nagging him to...
