Psssst! I just did a video about this book! Check it out!*Ahem* Onwards to the review!
John Marszalkowski is back at it again with his signature dry humor and witty one-liners!
How to Punch Kids in Bathrooms is a series of short essays - often hilariously titled:
You Didn't Ask But Let's Talk About Meabout his various thoughts and ramblings - often surrounding his life and family.
This book is incredibly short, but John covers the topics with ease.
I loved his section about society's obsession with a strong work effort.
I don't see what's so wrong with bare minimums, honestly.He goes on to give his take on the whole matter:
People have this weird obsession with "giving 110%."...but anything over 100% is impossible, so that's just bad math.I also adored how he talks about his wife and children in his books. It is so fun (and funny) to read his thoughts and opinions surrounding them.
I will do anything Desiree asks me to do, so long as I'm paying attention to her when she asks and I don't forget to do whatever it is.All in all, if you are looking for a fun, short book that provides advice that you never knew you wanted but suddenly need - this one is for you!

Wow! This was surprisingly awesome!
It's amazing how how good it is considering the authors attempt to convince you otherwise.
Well written, simplistic and to the point. I enjoyed the true life reveal and honest self reflection.
I recommend this for anyone who's struggling to write or in general find their value in this world. It's not self help, he doesn't like that, but you just might be able to relate and find a bit of encouragement by his truth.

I'm sure the author would appreciate my candour in admitting that the first reason I downloaded this book is that it was free. It is in fact a stretch to call it a book, something which Marszalkowski readily admits close to the end of its 32 pages. Offering frank and insightful recollections of his childhood feelings and experiences, it's an interesting read but is really more of an extended advertisement for his next book. That said it's free and is a great taster for an author I for one would like to read more of.

Full disclosure: I was given a free PDF copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
In his latest book "How to Punch Kids in Bathrooms", John Marszalkowski recounts various stories in the informal essay format, while keeping it at 32 pages and having no regrets about it. According to him, 32 is the minimum number of pages for a book for some printers. Personally, I thought that would be a little bit more. Nevertheless, in honor of how short this collection of informal essays is, I will try to be as brief as possible with this review.
"How to Punch Kids in Bathrooms" is essentially filler for his official second book "Uncredible Thoughts: Essays, Spiels, and Poppycock", but I don’t mean it in a bad way. For example, while the book didn’t make me laugh out loud, it made me smile, and that is just as important. Like his previous collection of essays "Buy My Book: Not Because You Should, But I’d Like Some Money", Marszalkowski still talks about whatever is on his mind even though he is not credible on every topic. The main difference between the two is that this book feels more cohesive and self-assured. He mainly talks about his childhood (and yes, as a kid, he did get punched in the bathroom) as well as his family, especially how he will do anything for his wife. That latter part made me go, “Awwwwwwww”. He is also as silly as ever, especially with the random quotes inserted between the chapters (my favorite is the one from Harold Ramis).
In other words, "How to Punch Kids in Bathrooms" by John Marszalkowski is a good organized chaos of a filler, and I would recommend it to readers who are interested in something completely different as well as to fans looking for someone else while waiting for "Uncredible Thoughts: Essays, Spiels, and Poppycock".

Amusing and a great representative of the authors work. I only wish it was slightly longer. Next book!
