To start off, im gonna sort of change this prompt from most important to my favorite part of this chapter. Through the book Let Me Off At The Top, Burgundy has been having an argument with his neighbor because he let him borrow his blowdryer and Ron thinks that he hasnt given it back. He had his blowdryer for months "without giving it back" and Ron secretly hated him. Until he went into his garage to see his blowdryer, just sitting there. With a note stuck on it. Dated back to a month ago. Turns out, his neighbor did give him his blowdryer back, and he gave it back THE SAME DAY HE LET HIM BORROW IT! I found this to be my favorite part of the book because through out the entire book he rants because he hasnt gotten his dryer back, but turns out he had it the entire time. Oh, the irony.

Letter to the Author
Dear Ron Burgundy/Will Ferrell,
I am a huge fan of yours. I believe you are a comedic genius and the best in the business. Ron Burgundy, you are an amazing spokes person. And Will Ferrell, you are my favorite male actor, and now my favorite author too. This book was one of the best books I have ever read. Probably because I'm not really into reading that much, and this book was different. It's a book that you have to really think about and put peices together, all you have to do is read it and enjoy. I appreciate this book because it has made me notice that there are books out there for everyone, I know it sounds cliche but its true. Its just a matter of finding a book that you like and that's your type of writing. In my opinion I loved the book Let me off at the Top and I suggest this book to everyone who wants a funny read.
Best and Worst Qualities of Ron Burgundy
However Ron Burgundy is a man known for being hilarious and a legend, he also has his faults. His cockiness may some day get him in trouble or his mouth. I believe that one of his worst qualities is the fact that he doesn't always think through what he's going to say next. He's one of those guys who doesn't seem to have a filter. For example he says things like "Our babies have gotten uglier. I don't know why this is but you can't deny it's happening". Along with him being cocky, he has an extremely high self-confidence and cares about his image a lot such as when he says "its no big deal but I'm taller than the guys on the team. I look shorter because I'm kneeling down. If you look, you can tell that my knees are bent. Clearly I'm not standing straight". He is all about his image, but I guess you could say it's what makes him Ron Burgundy. On the other hand, it's obvious to tell that he is an extremely funny guy.

Why was this Book Written?
Let me off at the Top: My Classy life and Other Mussing is a book meant to entertain. This book is not meant to be taken seriously. It's a book for those who want a funny and relaxing book (not to mention, Will Ferrell fans). Plenty jokes, very random, and humorous all around. This book was written to make people laugh and smile. I personally am enjoying this book very much, I'm not one who likes reading. Especially those super long lengthy boring books, and this book is the complete opposite of that! It's not too long, and it's hilarious. This is of those fun-to-read books, its very enjoyable and a very interesting book. However this book should not be recommended to those of a young age. I suggest this book to anyone and everyone, everyone could use some humor in their lives. And what better way to laugh and have a good time then by the one and only Ron Burgundy. Lighten up your day and laugh a little. And as always, "Stay classy San Diego".
