Amy is just hilarious. I’ve always loved her sense of humor and skits. She has a couple of deeper heavier topics in her memoir as well and they were really well done. 

Meh. I appreciate her vulnerability throughout the book, but I expected it to be funny as well.

Check the content warnings. This type of raw talk about real life won't be for everyone. . .but I enjoyed it. 

brilliant. I laughed. I cried. it was Good.

This one falls somewhere in the lower to middle of all the "comedian/actor memoirs" I've read. I laughed out loud a few times and she's certainly had some struggles in her life. But I found her writing to be very contradictory and at times almost condescending to readers.

Meh. At times funny. At times revealing. Kudos for her standing up for women, gun-control etc. A little over the top when it comes to the whole women being judged by looks. It's not that I don't agree, it's just she beats that in over and over. I guess it's a great book if you need that sort of personal ego boosting.

While I did not find this to be a laugh out loud memoire, I did find it to be real, candid and unexpected.
Filled with stories from her childhood to her early days as a performer, Amy gets real about family, illnesses, assault and a number of other things you might not be expecting.
