I Am America (And So Can You!)



Title: I Am America (And So Can You!)
Author: Stephen Colbert
Genre: Humor/Satire
Pages (words): 240 (N/A)
Readability: N/A
Rating (out of 5 stars): **
Reviewed by: Ben
Description: Stephen Colbert offers "knee-jerk beliefs" about everything that is destroying America, from pets to old people.
Thoughts: I think The Colbert Report is hilarious (I watch it during my lunch break most days, and it may be my main source of news), so I was excited to read Colbert's book.  I have to admit, I was disappointed in it.  The definitely had its funny parts, but overall wasn't as funny as I had hoped, and had more foul language that I cared for.  I wouldn't really recommend it.  Good thing I only listened to the abridged version, so I didn't waste too much time with it!
Disclaimer: Plenty of bad language in this one.

This book is on my list, but I'm going to go ahead and drop it right off. I sure do love the show, though.
