Oh dear. I'd initially planned to read this as part of Book Riot's Read Harder challenge for 2019, as a way to tick of the "book of humour" task, but thank goodness I went for A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole instead because that was hilarious and this was just stupid. In fairness, the introductions (one by each author) were actually funny, but, unsurprisingly, limericks soon get old. Especially when a) they're just not very good - lots of them didn't scan well and if you've got to change words or spellings to force a rhyme don't bother, and b) they're all on the same quickly well-worn topic. Perhaps there are some genius comedians out there who can produce 200+ limericks on sex without degenerating into dullness but these men are not them. Really enormously repetitive.
