Although not quite a fan of the show, a friend recommended the book. It’s funny enough, as Colbert puts to paper what he satirizes on his show, portraying a staunch Republican who’s as American as apple pie. But, to me, it was too much of the same, and while I finished the book, I probably laughed more at the first half because the jokes were fairly fresh, whereas the latter half retread the same ground. But it’s about what I expect from a humor book. The side notes in the margin, where Colbert comments on himself, was a nice touch. (Maybe all future books will have the same thing – a wikibookia, constantly edited by the author throughout the year’s of his or her life).
