This book was hilarious! I was literally laughing out loud during a lot of this book! The book is written like he talks, if you've ever listened to his radio show or podcast you will totally understand.

Granted, Adam Carolla isn't Steinbeck or any other type of literary genius by any means, but it was funny and he did have some good points about life. I loved the chapters about the worst songs ever and cutting the cords of his newborn twins. But I could have cared less about the bonus chapter about all the different sports.

Overall, a very funny book and I liked that you don't have to be a guy to appreciate his comedic sense of humor.

Adam covers a lot of topics, that we all think of but find it difficult to articulate. You'll learn his feelings on everything from pizza to politics, flying first class to taking a ceramics class, he discusses homophobia and home immporvement. He also gives you some background on his life. After reading that I am AMAZED that he didn't grow up to be a serial killer. :-)
I enjoyed reading the book and I share his feelings on many things. His political views are somewhat neutral (he's said be conservative by liberals and being liberal by conservatives). I think most Americans feel the same way he does.
Now, for the "problem" I "kinda" have. In the first 20 pages of this book, he dropped the "F" bomb no less that 60 times. Although I am NOT offended, I can see that some people would be offended by this type of language.
I loved his list at the end. He's shared his Bucket List with the reader. I have some of those items on my Bucket List.
Read it if you are NOT offended by foul language.

I loved this book, but I will say that it is not for the faint of heart. If you have ever heard Adam and his random rants, you will know exactly what this book is. I have never laughed out loud as much while reading any other book before.

There are many ideas that he has, that could offend some people, but you just have to know that going in, and know how Adam acts. I definitely did not agree with him on every aspect, but he at least brings up some good points on a lot of things that he complains about.

I suppose I would have laughed more before the election.
