This was a fun and excellent read. It was surprisingly serious at times too which I appreciated. Fans of Sarah will love this and it may just make fans of those who don't quite understand her.

First couple of chapters were really interesting, but after that it definitely seemed to drag on.

This was a fun and funny read, but there are certain words and ideas that are upsetting in the light of 2024, so you may wish to proceed with caution.

I guess I just don't think she's as funny or cute as she thinks she is.

I expected funny poop jokes, and there are plenty, but as the title suggests this memoir is about how humor is a choice weapon in overcoming any struggle. Honest to a fault, Sarah's insight into trauma, anxiety and depression, are the greater take away than mere jokes. Her mantra of "Make it a treat" is one that should be adopted by the world over.

I'm not a fan of autobiographies, as a rule, the notable exceptions being those of Spike Milligan and Jessica Mitford, but when I read an excerpt of this in a magazine I knew I would have to read it one day. I should probably go on record as saying that I am a fan of Sarah Silverman. If you are not a fan, you probably won't like this book very much. Her personality comes through a lot more than her persona, but if her style doesn't suit you then you won't be able to see much of that in between the jokes about vaginas.
Still, I think she's hilarious, and this was one of the more open and unashamedly human autobiographical works I've read.
