mollybonovskyanderson's review against another edition

I gave up about 2/3 of the way through. I've never seen any of Amy's stand up, shows, movies or specials. I'm completely unfamiliar with her, other than knowing who she is and that she seems like a cool person. And I still think she seems like a cool person, but her book, unfortunately, in my opinion, was boring and not particularly funny. I enjoy her self-depreciating anecdotes and subsequent self-pep-talks, but not enough to read a whole book's worth.

Listened as an audio book and enjoyed the story told by the writer. Amy made it funny and serious.

I didn't finish this book. I read through most of the book but put it down because I wasn't really enjoying it. I honestly expected the book to be really funny but never laughed much. The author does weave in some good messages about self acceptance but the writing didn't feel strong to me. I stopped reading in the middle of a chapter where she's describing hookups she had with several professional athletes and a musician. The stories weren't interesting, funny or carried a larger message which was disappointing.

I knew this book would make me laugh; however, I didn't expect it to be so impactful. Amy Shumer opens up about every facet of her life and offers insightful commentary on social issues.

I listed to the audiobook for this book because I really enjoy listening to comedians telling their story and this was such a fun book. Really also helped to give a lot more depth as to who she is as a person and what has helped to shape her personality

Calling this one a DNF. After about two hours of listening, I didn't find anything to hold my attention or that made the author sympathetic or particularly likable. I enjoy her show and stand up to varying degrees so I'll stick with that. I feel sort of assholish writing this about stories someone is telling about their life but after listening to her humble brag about giving away specific amounts of money to specific people or types of people, I was turned off.
