Sarah Silverman is funny and real in this book. I didn't know much about her before reading and now I have more of an interest in watching The Sarah Silverman Program since I know a bit of background. I like her demeanor and her outlook. Instead of a miserable comic with a horrible childhood, she's a happy comic with a weird, bedwetting childhood.

I didn't think I could love SS anymore but I do! She reveals to the reader a personal side and then makes hilariously funny jokes about it. I recommend listening to it for the full effect.
there was only one part that i briefly LOLed at and it was this:
Ultimately, diaries are to writing what masturbation is to sex. The thoughts and fantasies that go through one's mind wind up in a tangible form, either on a sheet of paper or a sheet on your bed, and they should be quietly disposed of.
I should say that I'm mostly talking about the diaries of teenage girls. Teenage boys' diaries are different. They tend to read thusly:
Dear Diary, I've been feeling so - oh, oops, look at this, I'm writing in a diary. So I guess that settles it: I'm gay. Thanks, Diary!
Some good bits. But no real sound structure to hold all the stories together.
I am not squeamish, nor am I a prude. I don't get why so many comedians are fixated on sex, bodily noises, body parts ad nauseam. It's lazy. And not that funny. After reading this, chances are I will never see her TV show.
This book is very hard to rate. There's some honest memoir parts that are both funny and vulnerable but the book is also very much a product of it's time so there's an extremely yikes level of what I could gently call political incorrectness. I do think the amount of it detracts from the overall enjoyment book which is a shame.
[$0.99 find at thrift store. I do not feel cheated after reading it.]
Difficult to rate, but it was funnier than most autobiographies/memoirs. Overall it was well-written, and not as scattered as similar attempts by celebrities who dress better than Sarah.
Makes a great coffee table conversation piece, or a gift for the stick-in-the-mud friend in your life.
VERDICT: 2.95 stars, rounded all the way UP to 4 because it exceeded my very low expectations.

Good book, still a bit uncoherant at times. Something that is funny in sketches, yet does not do a book any good. Alltogether still worth the read.....of you like pee and poo jokes
