Customer Review #1:
Honku makes the difference
This zen of a book is a hilariously brilliant interruption to the emotionally dangerous hijack of road rage. Aaron Naparstek transformed his own breakdown experience into a new poetic paradigm of honku,a true evolution of the Japanese haiku. For innovation and ingenuity alone, this book adds to reading lists about emotional intelligence, creativity and the evolution of possibiity. But, more than that, this gentle, easy to fit into your pocket or glove compartment book, works to make us laugh at the everyday nonsense of our lives. This little book is not just about interrupting road rage through creativity, its a quick gestalt of the collective "who" we are on the roads of our lives.

Customer Review #2:
The Zen of driving
After author Aaron Naparstek had a brush with danger when confronting a honking driver, he found a way to sublimate the frustration and anger of traffic annoyances into calming poetry. Through the use of the 5-7-5 syllable pattern of haiku, he has now brought enlightenment and laughter to the topics of road rage, traffic gridlock, high fuel prices, lack of parking, and many other automotive trials and tribulations. In this little book, perfectly suited in size to fit into the glove compartment, are such gems as:Lawyer on cell phone/tries corporate and freeway/mergers at same time
Seattle traffic/the one thing capable of/stopping Microsoft
When the light turns green/like a leaf on a spring wind/the horn blows quickly
So keep this book in the car with you, and when that familiar tension starts, breathe deeply and transcend your road rage to reach a state of honku nirvana.

Customer Review #3:
Beyond Hilarious!!!
I have a confession to make: I am an angry driver. I take it very personally when people cut me off, dont let me merge, and are just generally rude and nasty behind the wheel. If youre like me, YOU NEED THIS BOOK. It is a great stress reliever; humor is such an effective coping device, and so much better than giving some moron "the finger!" Keep it handy in your car, but dont read while youre driving; the streets are dangerous enough with all those cell phone users out there.
