This is by far the most unique audiobook I've had the pleasure of listening to! Full cast of over 80 people, plus sound effects, and a few parts that were clearly rewritten to fit the audio format. Not every story was a full hit for me so I couldn't give it the full 5. Honestly the whole experience is worth it just to learn about the crazy behind the scenes stuff from The Interview. Very fun read!

I was very pleasantly surprised by this book! The narration was great and the production was fantastic. I love when sound effects are used in audiobooks. He’s a great story teller with funny stories and he knows it. You can hear him half-laugh at moments recalling some memories. I appreciated the bits of political content he dropped such as his privilege of consuming drugs as a white man and how rampant hatred on Twitter has real life consequences. Would recommend, particularly as an audiobook.

Honestly I’m shocked I liked this book so much because I don’t really love his movies, but after reading this I actually really like him as a person( as much as you can a celebrity). I honestly laughed a lot and learned about a lot of his background and history. What made me really enjoy this was his commentary on antisemitism and gun control and talking about prominent people like Kanye West and Trump which I found interesting. Also hearing about his different experiences with drugs was kind of fascinating. I still found the majority of his movies stupid though. He did bring up James Franco quite a few times and I’m not sure when his scandal happened and when this book was published but nothing was said about that which is kind of upsetting.

3.5 stars rounded up. I thoroughly enjoy Rogan's humor and writing, and this collection of essays gave me lots of laughs. It won't be for everyone as there are stories of drug use and foul language throughout. Fantastic on audio with a very large (not confusing) full cast that bring his essays to life.

The best and only word to describe this is “fun”
A collection of hilarious and well articulated stories in the style that could only be attributed to Seth Rogan. Loved this

Hilarious, Genuine, and Unapologetic
Yearbook is an autobiographical compilation of short stories by Seth Rogan. The audiobook is voiced by the famous comedian himself. He begins with a childhood story about getting into standup when he was a teenager. There are also stories about being Jewish, meeting other famous people, and his experiences while filming certain movies. Some stories made me roll with laughter and others were touching. This is exactly what I would expect from Seth Rogan. That fact that he voices the stories himself adds so much to the audiobook. I learned so much about his journey and even things I didn't know about other actors and comedians. He wasn't afraid to open up about humiliating circumstances and events from his childhood that most wouldn't speak of. I will say that it was very crude with an entire chapter about pornography, but his take is refreshing. There is probably an unnecessary amount of cussing, so definitely NSFW. This might not be for everyone considering it's vulgarness, but I didn't find it offensive. If you are looking for an audiobook to make you laugh almost the whole time and are a fan of Seth Rogan, I highly recommend Yearbook.
