Feel Free to Quote Me: 365 days of social commentary, serial commas, and cursing.

Great author, great books!
Humor is tricky nowadays—it seems like most people either belong in the camps of easily offended or constant offender. But in the middle of that spectrum is The Captain; a smart and witty man that brings sarcastic humor to many of our shared social annoyances. His writing style makes you feel like you’re having a discussion with a lifelong friend about shit that drives you crazy about "people these days". Each book contains little snippets of his opinions/observations on dating, vaping, and grammatical infractions. (But thankfully not all of those things at the same time because that.would.be.awful. I’m not sure even he could make light of that dark situation.) By the end of each, you’ll have no doubts how he feels about cargo shorts, dudes wearing sandals in non-sand environments, and the fuckboy/fuckgirl craze taking the nation by storm.In a stark contrast to his judgments on the aforementioned, you can tell The Captain is genuinely an activist for humanity. He encourages his dear readers (“us”) to put our phones down and bravely engage in conversations with strangers. He almost begs of us to turn off the TV and pick up a book. He promotes substance over style. He’s cleverly brought back the concept of dating without also bringing back outdated dating concepts like gender roles, settling just to settle, and not having a life outside of a relationship. Even though his advice usually involves a variety of four-letter words, he usually always points us back to being a kind human, being true to ourselves, and ignoring a lot of the senseless rules society has given us. (Especially if that rule has to do with the Oxford comma because he will fight for his right to use it.)These books are perfect for: anyone going through a breakup, anyone getting into a new relationship, anyone who lacks ambition, anyone with terrible grammar, anyone who’s considering being a vegan, anyone who takes life too seriously, anyone who doesn’t take life seriously enough, anyone who needs a laugh going through chemo, anyone who loves puppies, anyone who loves booze, anyone who absolutely loves random thoughts, anyone who’s super judgmental, anyone who swear’s they’re not judgmental at all, anyone who lacks standards in life and/or relationships, anyone who needs an example of a dude strong enough to handle a strong woman, anyone who frequently sends unsolicited pics of their private parts to other people, anyone addicted to reality TV and/or The Kardashians, anyone who prefers beauty over brains, anyone who has friends that give terrible advice, anyone who hates the Oxford comma, and well, basically everyone.

Hilarious and true!!!
I love all of the captains books and quotes! If you haven’t read his stuff, you definitely need to! Unless you’re a sensitive Nancy, then don’t bother. But if you have a sense of humor you’ll love this book! He is awesome!!! Highly recommended!

Happy to get my copy!
I bought The Captain’s previous book Speech therapy. Happy to get my hands on “Feel free to Quote me” I’m only several days in with the daily quotes and it’s true to his style of humor and perspective. I took a photo of the quote from the back of the book, so you could get a feel for it!

Honesty Hurts But Laughter Helps
I love this book! Honesty can sometimes hurt, but laughing through life while learning it's harsh lessons, helps. There's something in here that will speak to everyone. I laughed, I paused (reflection) but I kept on reading & enjoying. If you don't have this book, then what are you waiting for! Dive in!

The Captain is the best!
I’ve bought several of his books and follow him on social media. It’s rare a day goes by that I don’t laugh or get intrigued by something that he posts and I am constantly sharing what he writes. I rarely buy actual books anymore because of space (e-books for me), but I love to have his out for friends and clients to read. Anything he writes will be good. I love his humor and his style of writing. Definitely recommend this and all of his other books!

Relatable af
Loved everything about it. You can literally pick this book up, turn to a random page and laugh your ass off at what you’ve just read and/or make a game out of it and get a group together and laugh and point when the page describes someone in the room. Omg the next cards against humanity but in book form. Great, fun, read. I keep it in my car for my lyft passengers to browse through and it never fails...... I get to overhear gems like “omg remember when Katie had a selfie stick?” Or “that guy Chris you were dating showed up at the club in flip flops and I just about died “ epic entertainment you will not be disappointed.

Worth Quoting
This did not disappoint, and I WILL most certainly be quoting The Captain. Matter of fact, I was texting quotes to my friends as I was reading and as they pertained to them specifically. Like the one who said “hump day”. The Captain says “they’re not original, they’re trying to hard, and their jokes are awful....And, they’re a f*%#ing dork”. He’s not wrong. And now that friend knows it. Well....former friend. Thanks Cap!!

I Wish I Was This Funny And Smart
Feel Free To Quote Me? Hmm, can I just hire The Captain to script every conversation I have? (Especially arguments.) As well as just following me everywhere, chipping in with witty observations so by the end of the day my stomach is aching so much from giggling, stifling guffaws and laughing. No? Is that asking too much? Good thing he published a book full of such witty retorts, observations and comments for me to pick up whenever I want. Just a shame it isn't pocket sized so I could carry it with me everywhere and whip it out when I'm stuck for a brilliant comeback.I would seriously recommend reading anything this guy writes. He is a smart, funny writer and this book is full of oodles of laughs and some real gems. For example, 'Anybody who says, "You can't judge a book by its cover", in reference to themselves, should be forced to write an autobiography to prove it.' This one amused my brother too, who asked if he could borrow the book once I'd finished reading it. You're welcome, Captain, for recruiting another fan. I just love The Captain's outlook on stuff and he rarely fails to make me laugh. So don't even deliberate, stop reading any more reviews, just buy the book and you can thank me later.

Jeder, der dem Captain auf Instagram folgt ist sicher ein großer Fan - genauso wie ich. Dieses Buch fasst es sehr treffend zusammen - wer der Captain ist. Er bringt es immer auf den Punkt, und ich denke ein jeder von uns findet sich selbst oder die Situation in seinen Zitaten wieder. Wenn man mal einen schlechten Tag hat, einfach wahllos eine Seite aus dem Buch 'inhalieren' und schon scheint wieder die Sonne. Vorsicht! Sucht Gefahr! ;)In Amerika hatten die Fans die Chance signierte Bücher zu bekommen, ich habe schon mehrfach versucht auch an eine persönliche Widmung zu kommen... leider ohne Erfolg. Vielleicht liest dieser tolle Mann es ja eines Tages, und ich bekomme sie doch noch :p Volle 5 Sterne von mir... klare Kaufempfehlung :)
