Book Reviews of I Am America (And So Can You!)
Book Review: Hysterical, you'll not be disapointed
Summary: 5 Stars
Stephen Colbert is truly, a national treasure. Certainly, he's great enough to be considered an international treasure, but America isn't going to share him any time soon.
He is the most intelligent man I've never met, equally funny (if not more so) than any late night talk show host including Jon Stewart.
The book is packed with stickers, and bright colors, so you don't feel like you're disobeying him by actually learning anything.
Although I think some of the jokes can be shared by politicos and non-politicos alike, the only way you're really going to be able to enjoy his work is by having kept up with politics for the past five years, at least. So, take that as a warning to anyone who likes Mind of Mencia and decided that since Colbert is on the same channel that they'd get the humor.
So, what are you waiting for? Buy this book now, you won't regret it.
Summary of I Am America (And So Can You!)
What The Daily Show is to evening news, The Colbert Report is to personality-driven pundit shows. Colbert brings his sarcastic charm to a half-hour report, tackling the important issues of the day and telling his guests why their opinions are just plain wrong. Stephen stands for truthiness and his American right to copyright that word and claim ownership of it.I AM AMERICA the audiobook, features an all-American cast that includes Paul Dinello, Kevin Dorff, Greg Hollimon, Evie McGee, David Pasquesi, Amy Sedaris, Allison Silverman, Bryan Stack, and Jon Stewart. Stephen Colbert describes his audiobook as a simple audiobook from a simple mind--Stephen Colbert. It is one man's attempt to wedge his brain between hardback covers---in this case CD jackets. In plain conversational language, not to mention the occasional grunt and/or whistle, Stephen explains his take on the most pressing concerns of our culture: Faith, Family...Hygiene.
Why now? Stephen fears America has lost its balls and he hopes to re-ballify us. Even the ladies. Ladies can have balls--lady-balls too. Stephen likes to call those "Thatchers." Stephen will show how he got his mammoth swinging sack, with tales of courage and vital documents from his own life: the Mother's Day card he made at age six, disputed credit card bills, putt-putt score cards--all the major milestones.
Oh and don't buy this if you don't have any balls! But if you do buy it, you will get them, and then you can buy another copy with a clean conscience. (2008)
