This book was gifted to me a few years ago and I finally got around to reading at after some needling from the gifter. The concept is cute enough -- a collection of brochures written in as (extreme, but often times all to real) Conservative talking points. While it's not necessarily exaggerated by each individual point, the fact of its collection and repetition makes clear that this is a parody of some Conservative rhetoric.
Once you've read the first brochure, you've pretty much read the whole book. After two or three of them, it gets pretty tiresome. It's actually impressive how many words the author(s?) were able to get out of each topic, rambling on not so much, it seemed, to parody Conservatives, but rather to get a book-length work out of the material. The reader knows the game and can easily predict how each subject will be approached, although the subject choices themselves are amusing. Before the humor gets repetitive, it's reasonably amusing and may elicit a few giggles now and then.
Beyond this, there's little to say. As a parody piece, it's pretty one-note and doesn't have a lot of substance. This is not necessarily an issue except that it becomes one given the length of the book. There's a fine line between this being long enough to market as a book (as opposed to publishing the individual "brochures" at a dozen or so pages each at most) and not having enough varied material beyond the subjects, which are ultimately treated the same with similar, if not the same, jokes, to make a book's worth.
If you want a laugh, read the first few chapters, but don't feel like you've missed out on much by not finishing it.

Tongue in cheek satirical writing. Wasn't really in the mood for it, but read it anyway.
This was funny in small doses. I think it would maybe be a better Instagram account than a book?
I started to follow the guideline with my cats, and they’re really good advice lol
Absolutely hilarious and a great gift (obviously depends on recipient)!
Very informative. I feel confident that both of my cats are very well informed to the point where they are prepared to face these dangers without me. 10/10. We all have matching D.A.R.E. shirts now.
informative
fast-paced
I wish the book went into more detail about selecting the right gun for your cat.
Every part was ridiculous and some of the sentences just came out of nowhere, definitely had a blast reading through this~
