Review:

"Unlike his "Public Viewer" appearances on my television show, Brian Sack's new book is heartwarming, sincere and exceptionally funny."--Glenn Beck, #1 New York Times bestselling author of An Inconvenient Book

"Brian Sack's book In the Event of my Untimely Demise had me laughing, crying with laughter, and seriously considering a vasectomy, often in the same paragraph."--Grant Stoddard, author of Working Stiff

"Part witty memoir, part common-sense guide and part social commentary, In the Event of My Untimely Demise is an owner's manual for the late-model human heart."--David Giffels, author of All the Way Home

"An addictive read. You might come for the laughs, but you stay for the undeniable honesty of it all. In the end, it reminds us all of why it's so great to be a parent - and that's worth a lot more than the price of this book."--Fusion Magazine

"A book that covers almost everything that a human being in the modern world needs to know... It's the kind of advice that, if we're being honest, we all kinda wish our fathers had bothered to tell us."--Vanity Fair

"I like my life wisdom sardonic, salty and refreshingly dry, just the way Brian Sack serves it in his charming and insightful collection of essays."--Alisa Kwitney, author of The Dominant Blonde and Flirting in Cars
