I Am America by Stephen ColbertMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
I so wanted to like this since I admire Stephen Colbert's funny and clever satire. I loved watching his show and appearances on The Daily Show and miss that. This book definitely sounds Colbert: it's his voice, manner, and style. Still, I couldn't barely endure to finish this. The humor, while a few times made me laugh out loud, largely falls flat on this "flat" page. Also, many of the punchlines are in small, red font footnotes and margin asides which interrupt reading and are difficult for my middle-aged eyes to read.
