Wanda at her Uncensored Best!

This book is hilarious. I love Wanda Sykes and this book is her. She talks politics, men, black folks...I laughed so hard I snorted!

I love Wanda Sykes! Her book is almost as funny as her stand-up.

I have heard her stand up comedy and it was similar, but funny.

Hilarious!! It's like reading a script for her standup! The book has many chapters of Wanda's musings and solutions to problems in the world. A great read that is simply hilarious!

I actually laughed so hard I had to put the book down many times. Hilarious!!!'

Very funny lady, and true to the bone!

Wanda uncut. Ask her and she will share her thoughts and wisdom. Comedy and a dose of reality.

The book I’m reviewing is Yeah, I Said It by Wanda Sykes. Its both a fiction and non fiction book about finding the humor in life, and not taking things so seriously.

tYeah, I Said It is a book made up of many stories about anything and everything. From homeland security, same sex marriage, and war issues to voice messages, personalized tags, and Prince. The stories all have one thing in common though, they’re ridiculously funny. One of my favorite stories was a very short one about marriage terms and how they’re deceiving. Like how wedlock sounds like incarceration, marriage is almost like mirage, how “your better” half assumes you’re the messed up one, and ball and chain which pretty much speaks for itself. Another one of my favorite stories was about the space programs. It talks about how Bush wants to spend 12 billion dollars on building a permanent moonbase by 2020, and how it’s the smartest thing he has proposed. Because by then we’ll need another place to live due to pollution, lowered emission standards, drilling, and the fact that we piss off every other country. It also talks about how NASA is welfare for nerds because they’re way too smart to work anywhere else, and how only twenty percent of Americans have passports so why are we messing around in space.

tTo me the book was interesting and entertaining. Interesting because it talked about different views on practically everything, and entertaining because it was hilariously funny, just like her stand up. The scenes and characters were not that vivid because the stories were very short, one or two pages at most, but the ideas were clear. Wanda though, the narrator and main character was easy to visualize throughout the book. Mostly because of the many opinions Wanda gave. Wanda gave many opinions, as the book was mostly based on opinions. I agreed with a lot of them for the simple fact they were liberal and not too far fetched. The book despite its humor actually taught me some things though. It taught me about show business, the war, and just life in general, and how to brush the small stuff off.

tI would recommend this book to a mature reader, with an open mind who is ready to laugh. If you liked any of the Ellen Degeneres’ books you’ll like this. They’re similar but Wanda’s is the R version compared to Ellen’s PG13. I would also reccomend it to anyone who like her stand up routines. It’s not a good book for young kids because of the foul and suggestive language. I would recommend it for girls rather than guys. For the simple fact the book has quite a few stories about guys being womanizers, liars, and cheaters.

tOverall I give the book four out of five stars. It was an easy, enjoyable read that is sure to make anyone laugh out loud. It’s a very fun book, but also discusses issues that make you think. Yeah, I Said It is a great book that helps you to find the humor in life.
