The best and only word to describe this is “fun”
A collection of hilarious and well articulated stories in the style that could only be attributed to Seth Rogan. Loved this

Hilarious, Genuine, and Unapologetic 

Yearbook is an autobiographical compilation of short stories by Seth Rogan. The audiobook is voiced by the famous comedian himself. He begins with a childhood story about getting into standup when he was a teenager. There are also stories about being Jewish, meeting other famous people, and his experiences while filming certain movies. Some stories made me roll with laughter and others were touching. This is exactly what I would expect from Seth Rogan. That fact that he voices the stories himself adds so much to the audiobook. I learned so much about his journey and even things I didn't know about other actors and comedians. He wasn't afraid to open up about humiliating circumstances and events from his childhood that most wouldn't speak of. I will say that it was very crude with an entire chapter about pornography, but his take is refreshing. There is probably an unnecessary amount of cussing, so definitely NSFW. This might not be for everyone considering it's vulgarness, but I didn't find it offensive. If you are looking for an audiobook to make you laugh almost the whole time and are a fan of Seth Rogan, I highly recommend Yearbook.

Audiobook:  Oh Seth Rogen. I had heard so many things about the audio of this and that it was excellent. 
I did enjoy it and his stories and just the production was nothing like I've heard before from an audiobook. 

What stood apart from other audiobooks particularly memoir type books is that there were different voices for the people involved and sometimes voiced by the person themselves. Good ol' Google told me that there were 80 narrators involved in this audiobook which is INSANE but honestly it helped bring the stories to life along with the sound effects.

Seth told stories about growing up in Canada, different encounters throughout his Hollywood career and of course times he was on drug trips. It was one of those things where you just shook your head as you were listening thinking "my gosh how does this happen".  

If you are looking for a laugh & quick listen, this book is for you! 

**I will not be rating memoirs as this is someone's life story**

I was sure this was going to be a 5-star read, but the second half was mostly stories about famous people and Hollywood and I didn’t find it as funny as Seth’s personal anecdotes from his childhood. I still really loved it though, and definitely one of the funniest books I’ve read. He’s not a perfect dude but I think he’s a good guy, and I’m glad I picked this up.

I really enjoyed listening to this on audio! Seth read the book and then when there were flashback scenes or moments with other people there were other voice actors! 
I loved the vibe of the book, and all the funny stories in it. Made me love him even more than I already did.

 Fantastic! I laughed, I learned, and I loved listening to the cast of voices used in the audiobook. I am sure the paper book is funny but I think this is one book that has a lot of fun with the audiobook format so I'd highly recommend checking out the audiobook first.
