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...
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. This is written as though it's to be left in a time capsule for aliens who will find their way to Earth after humanity has been ...
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.
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...
As usual with Stewart and his host of Daily Show writers, a brilliant piece of satire that has a solid structure in the form of textbook for the intrepid alien visitor to our planet. This book is similar to America: A Guide to Democracy inAction, and delivers in much the same respect. Not necessaril...
Meh. I think I may have smiled once or twice but I never actually laughed. Not as good as America the book.
I wanted to like this book, since I do enjoy The Daily Show. However, the book just left me with a lukewarm feeling. It was not bad; it just was not that good. Sure, it had humorous moments here and there, and I think the premise of "a handbook for aliens visiting Earth" was pretty good. But a lot o...
VERY funny for those of us who like Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert.3.75
