On the one hand, nobody wants to be a dick. On the other hand, dicks
are everywhere!
They cut in line, talk behind our backs, recline into our seats, and
even have the power to morph into trolls online. Their powers are
impressive, but with a little foresight and thoughtfulness, we can take
a stand against dickishness today.
How Not to Be a Dick is packed with honest and straightforward advice,
but it also includes playful illustrations showing two well-meaning (but
not always well behaved) young people as they confront moments of
potential dickishness in their everyday lives. Sometimes they falter,
sometimes they triumph, but they always seek to find a better way. And
with their help, you can too. Just see the agreement at the beginning of
the book: I pledge to use the tools and techniques provided in this
book to help make the world a less dickish place.
Doherty fires absurd twenty-first-century zingers that happen to be
really, really, really funny.--starred, Booklist
