A review by astharis
Modern Romance: An Investigation by Aziz Ansari

2.0

Not awful & the sociology seems sound, but this book made me realize that 80% of Ansari's humour is based around "xyz scenario? How crazy is that?!" with no real further insight. This may work in stand up, but the book was little more than mildly amusing. So if you're not reading this book for the comedy, would you turn to it for the sociology? While there has been significant research & work put into the book, I would still say that the information within is nothing that you couldn't find without a Google search.

However I do hope that this can set a precedent for stand up comedians first books be something more creative than a memoir.
