You are reading this on a screen. You have First World Problems.

First World Problems: 101 Reasons Why The Terrorists Hate Us is a collection of short humorous essays and rants from a man who knows suffering. It is comedy that borders on tragedy.

What are First World Problems?

A First World Problem is a trivial issue that afflicts people in wealthier nations declared to be in the "First World".

Third World Problem: "I have to walk three miles to draw water from a dirty well or else I'll die of dehydration."

First World Problem: We have nothing to drink in the fridge except filtered tap water."

Do you have nothing to drink except a limitless supply of tap water? Have you ever bought so much food at the grocery store that it molded before you could eat it? Did you buy an iPhone one week before the new model was announced?

You're suffering from First World Problems.

What follows is the graphic account of what it's like to live in the First World. Tales of unreasonably cold air conditioning, eating to the point of exhaustion, and being unable to enjoy summer weather due to gainful employment in a bad economy.

Laughed Out Loud (over & over again)

Would you listen to First World Problems: 101 Reasons Why the Terrorists Hate Us again? Why?

My husband and I enjoyed every minute of this book! So relatable, well performed, and funny!

Funny

While some of these problems were true and hilarious, I did feel like they could have all been fleshed out more.

I couldn't stop laughing

If you could sum up First World Problems: 101 Reasons Why the Terrorists Hate Us in three words, what would they be?

Absolutely Fricken Hilarious

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I don't think 2 minutes went by where I didn't almost choke I was laughing so hard.

Very relevant

I could either relate to or could imagine someone I know for most of the scenarios in this book.

However the bathroom/bodily function chapter was a bit much. Maybe Ben doesn't have to share so much.

Full of laughs!!

If you could sum up First World Problems: 101 Reasons Why the Terrorists Hate Us in three words, what would they be?

This is a great book if you just want a good laugh. I even played it a little at a time each night me and my wife where settleing down for the night. She loved it.

A book I could listen to over and over

Personally, I love any book that makes me feel like I am just listening to a friend rant away about life and thoughts. I can agree or disagree, however when listening to a book I tend to agree/disagree in my head and not physically out loud, because I'm sure that would make me look a bit odd in public. I'd recommend this book to others.

Like Listening to a Stand-up Routine- Hilarious!

I read this book first and then listened to it when it became available on Audible. I can't even tell you how much better the narrator, who is also the author, reads this book than I did in my head. I was down right crying at a few points just from all the different voices the author uses, not to mention analogies like this, "Other than the McRib coming in and out like a negligent father, the McDonald's menu doesn't change."

Get out of my head, Ben Nesvig!

I've personally ranted about so much of the subject matter that the author talks about. I found this book hilarious ic points out how ridiculous Timothy suppose it issues are.

Didn't enjoy

Not sure if it just wasn't my style or what, but listened to this for two hours and had enough. Was disappointed.
