Search - I Know I Am, But What Are You?

It starts off like a memoir, all twisted-makes-you-uncomfortable-reading-it childhood, with (I guess) "funny" parts, but I respected it more for its honesty and, you know, real human experience than for its humor.

Then it just kind of jumped around - essays about real things from her life. Each chapter seems to have a thesis that she expounds on. Never really tickled me, but I did like it for being really forthright for a book written by a Daily Show writer (and I've read a few).

Wouldn't call it a biography, wouldn't call it a memoir, wouldn't call it a really funny book. But I'm outnumbered, it seems - everyone else seems to think it's hilarious.

Proof that Canadians can be just as childish as Yanks (but maybe not quite as gross).

I have been a fan of "The Daily Show" for a long time and Samantha Bee is one of my favorite "correspondents". It's one of those shows (for those that either do not watch tv *gasp* or don't have cable) that takes your average everyday WTF stance on politics and gives it the proper twist so that you don't feel all alone in your horror and can actually laugh at that horror.

This book is hilarious! I caught myself laughing on several occasions annoying my sleeping dog (he hates to be waken up during his beauty sleep). It is definitely an adult read and not for the youngsters as you might well guess. And although I am thoroughly convinced that Samantha will go to gerbil/rodent hell in her afterlife I still will say this is one good read. If you like your biography with a large dose of humor, do pick up this book. You won't be disappointed.

I give this book 5 stars. It is exactly what I expected and a bit more.
