Mostly hilarious though occasionally a bit silly. Listened to the audiobook on a road trip, which enhanced my reading experience.

I'm probably being a bit generous with my rating; my mad Colbert love compels me to add probably a star more than this actually deserves. There's nothing new here, after all; it's what you see on the show, minus most references to current events. It's exactly what you'd expect from the "Stephen Colbert" character. But it is funny, and I like the Fun Zones and charts and stickers and pictures. And I appreciated the inclusion of the transcript of the 2006 White House Correspondents' Dinner which remains truly ballsalicious.

Stephen Colbert is always good for a laugh and this book was a funny romp through his brain. I particularly appreciated the footnotes and the notes in the margins. And the bonus inclusion of his White House Press Corps Dinner Speech was very fun.

I didn't really care for this book. It was like a super-extra long Colbert Report...and that's just too much for me. I couldn't wait for it to end.

Hilarious, need I say more? I regret not getting out and buying this while The Colbert Report was still on. Instead, I got it second-hand a few months ago. But, oh, the belly laughs this one gave me! If you're into the character of Stephen Colbert at all (and I think there are very few people who aren't), you will find a laugh on every page, if not every other page. The sad fact is, there are people who would genuinely agree with him on several of these things he perceives as "issues." Does it make it funny or tragic? That's what Colbert's brand of satire was: full-fledged tragicomedy.
And, happily enough, you will love what he includes at the very end of the book. I will not spoil it, but needless to say, it is delicious.
