This book.
PWNS.
I swear I haven't read a book voluntarily in ages, and today I could not put it down. I just don't know what to say... buy it.
(Yes, I know I'm ridiculously late purchasing it.) |

| I like his show, but I was always wondering what this book was about. |

| The book is basically a compilation of his opinions, and how he describes what life is and should be. It's filled with hilarious comments, yet proves very valid points. :D |

ive enjoyed his show but his book was nonsense.
i was hopeing we'd see a semi-serious tone, nope.
the points he makes are valid, but they drown in the overall books "comic" tone.
i read the whole thing but at the same time my mind quit less than half way thru. |

That's what makes me actually read the book, which I believe was his intention. The first page even talks about how he hates reading. :p |

i bought the book hoping a bit of seriousness would be present. |

Hmm for some reason this reminds me of just about every forum whore/shmuck who feels his rants are important. Though this is still on my must read list;) |

Why would you buy a book from Stephen Colbert's TV alter ego and expect it to be serious? Even if it was serious, why would you take advice from a comedic writer instead of someone with more experience in politics or government? Your experience was ruined because you read the book for the wrong reasons. |
