A review by mabersold
Weird Al: Seriously by Dr. Demento, Lily E. Hirsch

4.0

I was expecting this to be a biography but it wasn't. It was more about Weird Al's music than it was his life. I found it really interesting and I learned quite a few things I did not know.

The book describes explaining a joke as being like dissecting a frog - you learn a lot, but the frog dies. Then it proceeds to due exactly that for a good portion of it (though the author owns up to this near the end).

Overall I'd say it's a worthwhile read if you're a Weird Al fan (and I am!) or interested in learning about the song-writing process.
