About this ebook

Suck It, Wonder Woman! brings Olivia Munn's unique humor, incredible wit, and lightning-fast costume changes to a world that needs more scrapbooking, sea monkeys, and for the love of God, a freakin' hoverboard!

In this hilarious collection you'll find essays like "thought's About My First Agent's Girlfriend's Vagina," wherein Olivia skewers what it's like to live in Hollywood. In "Sex: What You Can Do to Help Yourself Have More of It," she frankly gets down to the business of getting it on, including advice on how to appropriately wrap it and bag it. In "What to Do When the Robots Invade (Yes, When!)," Olivia offers valuable information on . . . what to do when the robots invade! And just when you thought she couldn't get any more geeky, she can. This book also includes such handy treasures as a timeline of great moments in Geek history, a flip book, an unofficial FAQ section, and a nifty (read: smokin') foldout poster.

Ratings and reviews

its great to see her acting ability is worth something. acting like a geek to sell herself seems to be "working" for her. she was funny on g4 because the writers and kevin pereirra were awesome. alone she's just a lame transperant wanna-be famous faux nerd.

I enjoyed this book, very insightful, would have liked more in depth view of her life but it was still pleasant to read.

How am I supposed to get an idea of whether or not I'll like the book if the free sample stops at the table of contents?
