REVIEWS
“A sequel to the hugely popular Is It Just Me Or Is Everything Kak?, this new dose of the ‘South African whinger’s guide’ is, if anything, funnier than the first. It’s an A to Z of everything annoying in South African daily life, from Afrikaans music to funky handshakes, the Human Rights Commission to medical-aid schemes, the preponderance of South African acronyms to zeffed-out Crocs and Zuma. And it’s a must-read for South African cynics and optimists alike. Why? Because it truly is laugh-out-loud funny. Hilarious. Witty and insightful and full of all the intricacies that make our country the crazy place it is” – Sunday Times

“Put it on the front display. It deserves it. Life meets reality. Sensationally funny”
– Sasha Martinengo, 5fm

“Funny, subversive, as devastatingly accurate as it is entertaining, [Kak2] is better than its predecessor. Yes, everything is still kak, but at least we can laugh. And do we need a laugh. It’s been a long and trying year – what with load-shedding, Julius Malema and a bunch of politicians all blathering on about being guardians of the Freedom Charter. Fortunately, unlike our politicians, Richman and Schreiber don’t take themselves – or anything else – too seriously. They’re rendering a public service (perhaps the only one that works): their satire keeps us sane” – The Star

“While things are kak, a pessimistic view on moving forward is even kakker, which is why this is the most un-kak book I’ve ever read on kak issues” – Kieno Kammies, Radio 702

“A very, very funny book. I really enjoyed it... Go get a copy for yourself” - Noeleen Maholwana Sangqu, SABC 3Talk

“Just as fun as its predecessor. From the horror of Christmas jingles to the deplorable obfuscation of Essop Pahad, it’ll have you giggling every time you crack its spine”
– Women24 (Book of the month)

“An absolute hoot… These guys are our version of the acerbic British columnists Jeremy Clarkson and AA Gill” – Gill Moodie, Saturday Dispatch“ 2 funny 4 words” – GQ

"Pasop tog net! Die boek is geneig om onwillekeurige lagbuie te ontlok. Voor jy jou oë uitvee ontwikkel jy dalk 'n sin vir humor” – Roekeloos.co.za

"It's a worthy successor to the first volume - in fact, dare I say that it's better in many respects, most notably the topics that are covered. The first volume was weighed down a little by some of the subject matter it HAD to cover - all the topics you would expect to find in a book such as this, many of which are quite taxing subjects to read about, even in a humourous publication (yet you would be irritated if they weren't included). This book is lighter, and funnier for it. With most of the heavy topics out of the way some of the less soul destroying, yet equally frustrating, irritations in life have been given their moment in the spotlight. The result is a fun sequel with humour that has more punch and, in some ways, is more in tune with South Africans' daily experiences and irritations...
The two volumes both make excellent gifts and the content is also accessible for foreigners who want to understand South African culture better - even if they do not specifically understand all the references - but, of course, the books are especially suitable for any mildly irritable South African (over the age of 18, due to some of the content) and - let's face it - that's all of us" - Mandy J Watson, www.brainwavez.org
