I have a mad crush on Jon Stewart. I don't think there has been more than one or two things that I have disagreed with him on and I laugh hysterically when I watch the Daily Show. I loved America (The Book): A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction so I am very disappointed that this one fell flat. I...

Very funny commentary. So apt and done in a humorous way. I wonder how alien races would look at us. I think a lot like this. Jon Stewart is hilarious.

3.5 starsI love Jon Stewart. I love The Daily Show. If you feel the same, you'll like this audiobook as well. It is written to guide the alien visitors after the ultimate demise of the human race (we all know it's coming, just not which way we're going...too many options). It is read by Jon Stewart ...

I listened to this one while knitting. It was pretty funny, and I enjoyed it. There were some LOL moments, and "penis anthrax" totally had me giggling for like 10 minutes.

There were a few slightly funny bits in this book, and there were a few insights delivered with that sharp satire that Jon Stewart and his team do so well. But for the most part, I found this book to be really boring. I just didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would.

An encyclopedia left behind by Humanity to the aliens of the future, who will eventually visit our planet after the pending extinction of humankind. It attempts to explain to an outsider the intricate aspects of human life, and while doing so, it exposes the madness of it all. After reading Americ...

This was pretty hilarious! The POV on this is after humans have gone away and aliens have come to Earth to learn about our planet. Jon Stewart explains just about everything there is to know about our planet. From sciences to government types to entertainment to the planet's landmasses, no stone goe...

DK-style overview of everything, really. There was usually one item per page that made me laugh out loud, plus I actually learned a few things. Much of the humor wouldn't make sense wihout a level of cultural literacy, and obviously if you don't think Jon Stewart is funny, this probably isn't for yo...
Title and Statement of Responsibility
The audiobook was insubstantial (only three discs) and full of equal-opportunity mocking and soon-to-be dated cultural references. I'm also going to take a look at the print book, but I'll only read it for the pictures, I swear!
