Comedian Lewis Black unleashes his trademark subversive wit while recounting his own life story in his New York Times bestselling memoir.

You've seen him on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart offering up his trademark angry observational humor on everything from politics to pop culture. You've seen his energetic stand-up performances on HBO, Comedy Central, and in venues across the globe. Now, for the first time, Lewis Black translates his volcanic eruptions into book form in Nothing's Sacred, a collection of rants against stupidity and authority, which oftentimes go hand in hand.

With subversive wit and intellectual honesty, Lewis examines the events of his life that shaped his antiauthoritarian point of view and developed his comedic perspective. Growing up in 1950s suburbia when father knew best and there was a sitcom to prove it, he began to regard authority with a jaundiced eye at an early age. And as that sentiment grew stronger with each passing year, so did his ability to hone in on the absurd.

True to form, he puts common sense above ideology and distills hilarious, biting commentary on all things politically and culturally relevant. "No one is safe from Lewis Black's comic missiles." (New York Times)

If you don't like his humor, you won't like the book. I love his humor and I enjoyed the book. It is not a series of his bits, although I remember hearing a couple on the Daily Show. Most of the book is about his life and how he came to think the way he does. I found it fun and entertaining. I even laughed out loud several times.

Listened to all of this in one day. Before I listened to this I had heard many an LB highlight but never really sat and listened to him. Very interesting guy who I found more in common with than I thought I would. Hilarious, insightful to a degree someone only that walk of life can be, and my favorite, cynical and dark like the bits I had seen. Good listen.

Part autobiographical part stand up, this guy presents himself in such a self-depreciating way that it stays with you.

Black isn't just the funniest comedian out there today, he's also the smartest! A great book, a great listen with Black also narrating - and anyone, who has the pleasure of listening to the audio book will certainly enjoy this very much.

Two thumbs up!!
