“This book by Stpehen Colbert (of The Colbert Report basic cable fame) is pretty much what you expect: his TV show in book form. For those of you who don't know, that shtick involves playing a character that parodies ultra-conservative media pundits like Lindbaugh, O'Reilly, and Dobbs. Just about every line is dripping with that old comedic staple irony, so that after a minute or two any reasonable newcomer to the act can discern the implicit comedy and subtexts. Or so you hope.

“This book was so great. My friend nearly cracked my head open, trying to pass it to me while I was walking home and he was taking a passing bus. I must say it was worth the impending headache, blood and stitches. I read this the entire hospital stay and even my nurse left my room cracking up. This man's character is so well played, it never surprises me what he says, but it does make me smiler wider. The sarcasm and blunt humor may not be for everyone, but most people with a sense of humor will enjoy this book thoroughly.”

“If you don't get some laughs out of this one you are either humorless or you are a neo-con republican and didn't realize it is a parody. Cobert stays in character so well I sometimes believe that he is the absolute jerk he pretends to be. An interesting and relevant social commentary that shows how ridiculous the extreme right wing view of the world is.”
