Satire Saved My Life - [17 Nov 2009]
I was a depressed Liberal, living in an ultraconservative part of California, when I discovered Stephen Colbert. He saved my life through satire. I realized that the best revenge against the right-wing pundits of today is laughter, and I was able to go...

worth skimming - [28 Sep 2009]
I bought it as a present and therefore was very satisfied ... but it frankly isn't worth full price ... unless you plan to give it as a present, get it at your local library instead. But I should add that the seller I got this from did deliver the book...

ROFLMAO - [13 Jul 2009]
If you like the Colbert Report, you'll love this book. If you don't like, or don't know, Stephen's completely insane Comedy Central TV show, you will probably still do a good bit of laughing, although perhaps against your will. Colbert's basic shtick ...

I'm sure it was a parody of other books, but I didn't get the joke. - [08 Jul 2009]
That's not to say it wasn't funny material, but I felt like I was walking in on the punchline. I read the book about 3 months ago, and I barely recollect anything other than an admonishment to those who borrowed the book from a library. It was a good ...

Hilarious! - [01 Jul 2009]
I literally burst out laughing when I read this book. It's not the kind of book that you try to read like a novel, but if you just pick it up every now and then when you have 10 minutes to kill it is really funny. And don't try to read anything into it...

Kindle Rip Off - [23 Jun 2009]
$14 for the kindle version of a book published in 2007? I bought the kindle for convenience not to become a locked into a single vendor and be constantly raped on prices.

Not As Good On Paper - [20 Jun 2009]
For the record, I think Colbert is funny and brings up great points every so often...on his show. In this book, however, is not only isn't funny, it's downright awful. I only find it only above the humor of "Real Ultimate Power".

Funny but not without some dull moments - [30 May 2009]
Overall the book had a good share of well-written jokes and funny one-liners. But I would say roughly 50% I would classify as just filler material. I think the target audience for this book would be high school and college students. They would likely ...

The Headlights of His Truthiness! - [18 May 2009]
Ah, Colbert, how dare FX dump you so unceremoniously in the UK & Ireland. Anyway, this is a great, hilarious romp through modern American culture. Fantastic.
