Author: Stephen Colbert
For those that don't know, Stephen Colbert is the host of The Colbert Report, 7:40pm nightly on ABC2. It's a satirical news program that makes fun of other American political news programs such as Fox News's The O'Reilly Factor. The character of Stephen Colbert is described as a "well-intentioned, poorly informed, high-status idiot". His show is hilarious and absolutely brilliant but you need to be one that is into this kind of humour. It isn't really mainstream.
Anyway, for those that do know the show, this book is almost like a stolen script from an episode. It's just him rambling on about things like he does every night. While its funny in places, it really highlights how good an actor this guy is because you'll find this book even funnier when you picture him saying this on his show in your head.
Its a good read for short trips to work etc but I don't think you could read this for hours on end. It just lacks the zest that comes with his TV delivery.
I own this book so I'll be happy to lend it to you if it's of any interest. Just hit me up.
