Book review: The Twits by Quinn Conroy

Even if you don’t follow your favorite celebrities on Twitter, or even have your own Twitter account (or know what Twitter is) you’ve undoubtedly heard a celeb ”Tweet” rehashed on the television news or seen one reprinted in a newspaper.

Now imagine if all of the most extreme celebrity Tweets were compiled into one book. That’s exactly what The Twits by Quinn Conroy is. There are funny ones (from the likes of Jonah Hill and Steve Martin), gross ones (thanks to Ke$ha and Sarah Silverman), odd thoughts (from Tyra Banks), celeb Twitter feuds, odd spellings and grammatical issues, entire sections on the Tweets from Kanye West, Cher, the Jersey Shore Cast and Charlie Sheen… and much, much more.

Several of the Tweets made me laugh out loud, others were flat out disgusting and some made me question the very meaning of life itself. Although The Twits isn’t a deep read, and really, you should never expect Shakespeare from a book of complied 140-character comments posted by celebrities on a social networking site, it is highly entertaining. If you’re in need of a good laugh or a lighthearted beach read, check out The Twits.

The Twits by Quinn Conroy is available at booksellers now, including Amazon.com.
