She is funny and it's a real joy to hear her read her own memoir. I don't know how New Hampshire turned out a hilarious lady, but I'm sure glad it did!

I needed something to read while waiting for library holds to come in and this book was available from CPL for Kindle lending, so I picked it up. I laughed out loud multiple times and read it during two commutes, but it was just ok.
While I've watched a few episodes of TSSP and really enjoyed them, I haven't always been a huge Sarah Silverman fan. I picked this up because I've been reading so many other female comedian books, I figured I might as well try this one. Now that I'm finished, the book has turned me into a Sarah Silverman fan. She's self-deprecating, funny and thoughtful. I have a greater appreciation for her comedy and what she is trying to do. That being said, this book suffers from the same problem that Mindy Kaling's did - the first half (about Sarah's childhood and path to comedy) were so good. She was really honest about her depression and childhood problems wetting the bed. The half of the book that covered more recent years were kind of surface though. She talked about some big moments but I guess not enough time has passed for her to be able to be really really honest so it was a bit superficial. Enjoyable but it wasn't as honest as the first part.

Funny. Made me interested in her work. Certainly not life changing.
Not as hilarious as I was expecting, but Silverman is incredibly honest when it comes to deconstructing her life and comedy. It's very nice to be able to see the difference between the character of Sarah Silverman and the woman who created her.
I feel like I enjoyed this book more than most people would because of the familiar NH connections. On the other hand, I just really don’t enjoy vivid descriptions of peoples genitalia. Could just be me. Oh - and the lady at Dunkin Donuts, since I had the book on audio in the car going through the drive through. It is kinda her fault for taking so long to make five tiny hash browns.
