The Bedwetter: Stories of Courage, Redemption, and Pee by Sarah Silverman

3.0

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.
