Not sure why it took me so long to finish this book. I would pick it up, read a bit, put it down and move on to something else.

Now that I'm done, and my sides ache from laughing, I'm glad I doled it out to myself in small doses. It was less about savoring and more about the fact that ...more

I thoroughly enjoy the Colbert show so I was excited to pick this book up. However, I found this book lacks the humor and wryness that makes the Colbert show so enjoyable.

Completely awesome. This man can do no wrong, as far as I'm concerned. An absolute must-read.

Long on sarcasm, short on humor. Very disappointing. A few of my friends have told me that they absolutely love this book. I just don't get it.
