Synopsis

Rebuilding a life by sending absurd lettersZack is unemployed, overweight, recently divorced, and lives with his mother. Whilst a lesser man would wither away in emo-laden angst, Zack has found inspiration during this difficult stretch of life. A renaissance man, Zack conjures up brilliant ideas (soap on a rope, a Sammy Davis, Jr. biopic starring Tom Cruise, vases of flowers in Port-a-Potties nationwide), offers services (babysitter for Sophia Coppola, compiler and burner for a Beatles Best-of), and attempts to woo unsuspecting ladies with his lifelike sketches of firearms. Please Let Me Help is a collection of letters Zack has written to companies, actors, directors, his local police department, Hulk Hogan, Canada, and scores of other easy targets. Some write back; most don’t. Please Let Me Help shows how we can turn our weakest moments into creative opportunities and never give up hope!

This short book is a collection of letters to various celebrities and corporations, each containing some ham-fisted, pie-in-the-sky nonsense suggestion. Some of them are simply ludicrous, most of them involve Zack Sternwalker coming up with new inventions that either already exist or are entirely un......more

Goodreads review by Laura on May 29, 2024

I get the concept I just think it makes for a subpar book. It stops being funny after the 3rd letter because every single letter follows the exact same format. Additionally the “humor” is pretty cringey to begin with- sort of a Quirky Girl vibe. Not for me.......more

Goodreads review by Heather on February 13, 2020

Nearly every letter follows the same pattern of humor, with the same jokes repeated multiple times. As an individual receiving one of these letters, it would be fairly humorous. As a book, however, it doesn't work very well. It's an interesting concept, but the execution wasn't great.......more

Goodreads review by Aaron on December 15, 2019

This is legitimately maybe one of the most hilarious books I've ever read. Seriously you do yourself a disservice if you don't look this up and read it. It will make you laugh out loud.......more
