nThis is Oh, the Places Youll Never Go--the ultimate hilarious, cynical, but absolutely realistic view of a college graduates future. And what he or she can or cant do about it. nThis commencement address will never be given, because graduation speakers are supposed to offer encouragement and inspiration. Thats not what you need. You need a warning. n So begins Carl Hiaasens attempt to prepare young men and women for their future. And who better to warn them about their precarious paths forward than Carl Hiaasen? The answer, after reading Assume the Worst, is: Nobody. n And who better to illustrate--and with those illustrations, expand upon and cement Hiaasens cynical point of view--than Roz Chast, best-selling author/illustrator and National Book Award winner? The answer again is easy: Nobody. n Following the format of Anna Quindlens commencement address (Being Perfect) and George Saunderss commencement address (Congratulations, by the way), the collaboration of Hiaasen and Chast might look typical from the outside, but inside it is anything but. n This book is bound to be a classic, sold year after year come graduation time. Although its also a good gift for anyone starting a job, getting married, or recently released from prison. Because it is not just funny. It is, in its own Hiaasen way, extremely wise and even hopeful. Well, it might not be full of hope, but there are certainly enough slivers of the stuff in there to more than keep us all going.n
