    I wouldn't change a thing.

    "Colbert does it again, nation!"
    What made the experience of listening to America Again the most enjoyable?

    Steven's delivery is essential to this book! If you love his show, you will like this.


    Would you recommend America Again to your friends? Why or why not?

    I would definitely recommend this book


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    Of course I laughed out loud! It's Colbert!


    Any additional comments?

    The book seemed a little short, maybe that's because I was enjoying it so much. Stephen can make deep insights into the current political and pop culture scene that make you think and laugh at the same time!

    "Loved it"

    If you are considering either reading the book or listening to it, I recommend listening. The performance is great! If you were thinking about not reading or listening to it at all, then you should change your mind, because you would be missing out!

    Story
    "Too Much Hyperbolic Hyperbole"

    In a phrase that Colbert himself might use, this book contains too much hyperbolic hyperbole. I enjoyed his previous book, which was very entertaining and more subtle. That book kept leaving me with a question of "wait, does he really think that? Oh no, of course not." In this book, he hits you over the head with a humor hammer; he is working too hard for the laughs by making all his exaggerations huge. It is still entertaining, just not his best work. Too dramatic, which he really doesn't need to create a successful work.

    "The first book was better!"
    Where does America Again rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    I have listened to 5 books and this is the lowest rank after Al Gore's book.


    What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

    He talks about unemployment and benzodiazopines (?) or psychotropic drugs. His reading and jokes are a bit too angry at times for me to enjoy.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    When he talks about Vicodim being the wonder drug determined by the open market (high demand for the drug).


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    No. I listen in parts.


    Any additional comments?

    Cobert's first book is a better listen. So much for sequels.

    "Amazing Naration"
    What made the experience of listening to America Again the most enjoyable?

    I really enjoyed this because the writers put together a great book, and Colbert does an amazing job narating; it is basically a non-news based episode of his show. This is best produced audiobook I've heard.

    "Funny, but nothing surprising"

    If you enjoy watching the Colbert report you'll probably enjoy listening to this audio book. However, if you're expecting something groundbreaking you'll be disappointed.

    "Stephen being Stephen"
    What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

    Interesting? Look I can't recall any soul resonating points. There was no 'least' interesting.
    Some was less so.


    What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

    As always I like Steve's voice. As usual though I began to dislike his voice somewhat.


    Was America Again worth the listening time?

    It was unless you wanted that Colbert Bump kind of feeling. It fell just short.


    Any additional comments?

    Steve, Know I will always be virtually your best fan.

    "Similar to the quality of the Report"
    What did you love best about America Again?

    Laugh out loud, thought provoking, fun accents for his characters which makes it better to listen to than read. As with the Report, it isn't meant to be concrete fact, getting the laugh is the first priority.
