ickesea 's review for:
Too Much Is Not Enough
by Andrew Rannells
I listened to this memoir and enjoyed every minute of it! I know Rannells largely from The Book of Mormon, one of my favorite shows, but also like his chatacter in Big Mouth. I have to say, I was hoping for at least a smidgen (ok lets be real I wanted a very large dollop) of this book to be about The Book of Mormon, and when I got to the end and there was not even a mention of his biggest role, I was disappointed. I feel like having a chapter at the end about what that monumental success felt like after all of the ups and downs he has had in his career would have been the perfect cherry on top of a very enjoyable book. But then again, this book is not a overview of his entire life/career, it's a coming-of-age story and if he considers Hairspray to be his big break then it makes sense for it to be the end of the book.
Despite the let down at the end, every story in this memoir had me thoroughly entertained. I laughed out loud, related a little too much to the story about his grandma Josephine, and deeply identified with that Midwestern Ambition™ he has. Definitely would recommend an audio version over reading a hard/e-copy. His snarky personality and vulnerability really come through in the audio book and his impression of Rosie O'Donnell hilarious!
