I read this at the beach, on the beach, and I think people looked at me funny because I laughed out loud. Alot.

Meh, I guess it's decent if you're looking for a (self-consciously gimmicky) standup routine from an angry Bush-era Wanda Sykes.

If you've seen Ms. Sykes' stand up routine, I don't really recommend that you buy this book, unless you really, really like her standup. It's basically the text version of her most recent standup. It's got a few additional things that wouldn't have been included in her stage act, but not enough to be worth $14.00. Buy it used or better yet, borrow it from the library.

She's a funny, funny lady. I feel like I have really gotten to know her by reading this book. Unfortunately, sometimes she is too busy being preachy to be funny.

This book is hilarious. It's a quick read but it'll have you rolling. Seriously.

Wanda Sykes siempre me mata de risa y este libro no es la excepción. Si, dice muchas cosas que parecen medio escandalosas pero este libro es algo viejo y el contexto hace que o te dé más risa todo (fue durante el mandato de Bush en USA) o sepas que sus ideas ya cambiaron si eres fan de Wanda (que nunca se volvería a casar y nunca adoptaría niños? Uhm...claro jajaja). El punto es que es un libro ligero y gracioso.

Yeah she said it, she uses the r word a lot. Other parts I found funny.

The first 30 pages is Bush bashing, so I just skipped them - but once you get to her all around humor the book is hilarious!

This was hilarious! Not exactly what I expected, but fun and a quick read.

Some of the material from this book was in her "Sick & Tired" stand-up special, but it was amazing! Very humorous and very worthwhile.

Go Wanda!

This woman is so, so funny. What's best about her is that she doesn't (always) rely on base humor to be funny. She uses wit and sarcasm to comment on everything from politics to gender roles and social graces. I don't think you'd need to know who she is to appreciate her book of short observations, which proved to be a highly entertaining and fast read. Maybe most impressive is the fact that, even while so many of the jokes (see: Bush) were dated, they held up. I caught myself laughing out loud time and again at not only what she said, but how she said it (if you've seen her on tv, etc, you will be able to "read" her delivery) Wish she had another!
