4.0

I have read several books by comedians, and, usually, I am disappointed with them. I read such books expecting to have a good laugh, and I am usually let down in the end.Still, I decided to borrow this book from the library.

I have seen a couple of episodes of The Office and the pilot of The Mindy Project. That is pretty much the extent of my knowledge of Kaling. From those experiences, I was not sure if I thought she was more weird than funny or vice versa. Reading this book convinced me that she is actually pretty funny. I actually enjoyed this book. There were a lot of laugh out loud moments for me. I actually read it twice, which I never do.

In this book, Mindy tells stories of her family, childhood, and road to stardom. Her stories were very down to earth, relatable and entertaining, and readers can learn a lot about her from the book.

The only thing that was a little odd to me a little about this book was her obsession with image, particularly her weight and dieting. I have never viewed her as a big person at all, so it was surprising to me that she struggles with her image in that way. Then again, look at the society in which we live…

This is definitely one of the better books that I have read by a comedienne. I recommend this to people who want a good laugh in a light, quick, easy read.
