Simply put if you were a fan of Stephen Colbert's The Colbert Report, you know what to expect by this book and you will enjoy it. Conversely, if you didn't like Colbert's show, you won't like this book but then, you probably knew that and stayed away from it in the first place. And, if you're one of the folks who is not familiar with Colbert's style of humor this book, like his others, contains a commentary on current social, economic, and political situation disguised in satire delivered by a pompous voice who sounds convinced of his obvious correctness and superiority.

RATING: 5 stars. I am a fan and appreciate Colbert's sense of humor.
NOTE: I obtained the audio version of this book; since the author delivered his own material in his own unique style, it enhanced my enjoyment of the work.

I listened to this as an audio book and it's no wonder he won a Grammy for it. Very funny and lively with several different character voices.

Amazing how much this book (written in 2014) anticipates the Trump view of the world, starting with the title. There are 3D glasses attached (take THAT, audio people!)_

Reads just like he speaks on his show

Some of this was very funny and some of it was gross (IMHO). Humor is in the eye of the beholder, so you probably need to listen to yourself to decide. Yes, I listened to it vs. read the book.

3D glasses should come with it. Hilarious, but almost too tame for the Trump era.
