Based on a True Story - Norm Macdonald - 4 Stars

[Jason]

Norm Macdonald is my favorite comedian. He calls this book a true book, but not a factual book. It is NOT a memoir.

These stories are not factual and did not really happen. You start off questioning if they are real, but then soon learn they are preposterous. They are similar to his wild stories he would tell on his late night appearances.
However, loving Norm and his type of comedy, truth is hidden in these anecdotes, whether from sarcasm or hiding a bit of reality in a made up story.

You can read this book as silly stories from an unusual but smart comedian or you can it searching from those slivers of truth. Either way, distinguishing fact from fiction is impossible.

This book is bizarre, funny, and, though not factual, completely true.

If you don't like Norm Macdonald, you will not like this book.
