 2008-11-18 - I was sad to see this book end!
This book is incredibly hilarious, if you "get" Stephen Colbert's type of humor. If you like his show, you'll love this book. His tongue-in-cheek, extreme rightwing pundit character is just as politically incorrect as ever, and just so so funny. Complete with his opinion everywhere, including in the margins, it encompasses everything we love about "The Colbert Report." Aside from a few distracting typos (which, according to one sentence in the end of the book, may or may not have been put there on purpose), I found this an easy read and unbelievably fun way to spend my time, and I kept wishing the book was longer, or -- better yet-- that there was a sequel. I hope he writes another. I liked it so much, I bought some as gifts for friends.

I love Stephen and his show, but his book is too boring. I couldn't finish it.
 2008-10-04 - So far so good....
Read the first few chapters and it is very Stephen Colbert. Whitty, funny, in depth, blunt...good book so far
2008-10-03 - Funny book
Good price and got what I ordered. The book is funny. Not very informative but an easy read and great way to pass time

Downloads in 15 seconds, and takes about as long to figure out that he was simply capitalizing on his celebrity. I THOUGHT I would enjoy a light, funny read but instead subjected myself to a long run-on disjointed and runaway thought train that seemed to have no real destination. I eventually stopped reading after giving him some room to be funny or interesting, or SOMETHING. But now I have a new resentment in my life... that he's taking up room on my Kindle, plus it's a frequent reminder that I was hoodwinked out of 9.99 when 1.99 might have left me feeling chagrinned, but at least not ripped off.
Stephen, stick to TV. You ARE funnier there and it costs us nothing.
