What a stinker of a book. I am opening my Amazon boxes and this one caught my eye. “Something light,” I thought, “Something silly.” I want my money back.
Colbert is a comedian. I always presumed that means he is a writer. I was wrong. The volume of the volume is inflated with un-funny graphics, sidebars and other extranious material. I love his delusional pundit routine when I get a chance to see it, perhaps it does not work in print. In any case, this book is just about useless.
Grumble.
Damn, that sucks. I just popped it on to my Wish List as something fun, and I betcha my brother got it for me. sigh
I thought parts of it were funny, though it’s not as good as Stewart’s book IMO.
Heh, I thought it was quite funny, and written totally in character, natch.
I loved it and thought it was hilarious. It does have a style to it that might not appeal to everyone.
I listened to the audio book version on my commute, and it made me laugh.
I thought it was hilarious. I laughed out loud at a few bits, even.
I’m about 1/2 way through it now, and I think it’s very funny.
It’s good but not great. Definitely not as good as America: The Book, but an entertaining read nonetheless.
Imho, obviously.
I found the abridged audio book to be rather funny. I don’t see how it would work as a book, though.
Well, duh! What could possibly compare to an illustration of the Supreme Court Justices naked?
It definitely has its highs and lows. It reads best when I can imagine Colbert reading it. (But since I run hot and cold on his stuff anyway, it’s no surprise.)
He did record the audio book, didn’t he?
I think that is it. He writes to be performed, not to be read. I have given it a couple of more tries, and this book is just not as funny as seeing SC on TV.
