Reseñas editoriales

Why we think it's Essential: Funny. Irreverant. Historic. If American history had ever been presented this poignantly, more of us might have paid attention. Stewart and friends run the gamut: republicans and democrats, deadpan and laughable, serious and totally absurd. The vast array of comedians each deliver hilarious soundbites and yet the book comes together with stunning coherence. — Chris Doheny

Resumen del Editor

Jon Stewart, host of the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning The Daily Show, and his coterie of patriots deliver a hilarious look at American government.

Termed a "political king-maker" by Newsweek, and "the Dan Rather of infotainment" by Vanity Fair, Jon Stewart, along with the writers of The Daily Show, combines his riotous wit and razor-sharp insight in this hilarious book.

American-style democracy is the world's most beloved form of government, which explains why so many other nations are eager for us to impose it on them. But what is American democracy?

In America (The Audiobook), Jon Stewart and The Daily Show writing staff offer their insights into our unique system of government, dissecting its institutions, explaining its history and processes, and exploring the reasons why concepts like "one man, one vote", "government by the people", and "every vote counts" have become such popular urban myths.

Among the topics:

  • Ancient Rome: The First Republicans
  • The Founding Fathers: Young, Gifted, and White
  • The President: King of Democracy
  • The Supreme Court: 18 Legs, Four Tits, One Mission
  • Running for Office: What Are You Thinking?
  • The Media: Can It Be Stopped?
  • The Future of Democracy: The Constitutional Robocracy and You!

    This program contains explicit language.

    • Audie Award Finalist, Humor, 2005
    • Quill Award Winner, Audiobooks, 2005
    • Grammy Award Winner, Best Comedy Album, 2005

    "Cheeky, irreverent, and playfully ingenuous....This humorous sendup of American politics never fails to entertain, poke fun, and provoke thought." (Publishers Weekly)
    "The devil's own comedic handiwork, a side-splitting guide to the abuses and absurdities built into our political processes and institutions....Sustained clever writing and a smart, durable premise....As with Mr. Stewart's priceless anchorman persona and his show's hawk-eyed editing for real news gaffes, there is enough truth here to make America almost as instructive as it is sly." (The New York Times)

    Not one-sided

    I had been worried about John Stewart's increasing conservative-bashing but this book doesn't have any of that. Bits of astute political commentary mixed with hilarious sarcasm and classic Daily Show wit. I am just sorry it was so short.

    Only OK - not great

    I like the Daily Show. I really like Jon Stewart but after awhile I got tired of this. They hit some good points but it gets almost boring somethimes and they seem to add four letter words almost gratuitously. It's just ok - not great.

    lol

    book was as engaging as the show and the format of the audiobook was freaking hilarious. I couldn't stop listening and I am sure that on more than one occasion my outburst of laughter while waiting in line at the local Wal-mart caused people to think that I was completely insane.

    "The Daily Show", in book form.

    The Daily Show in book form, so the interesting mix of fact, fiction, and satire for which Stewart is famous. All about the development of America, with each chapter corresponding to a section of history and the government. Alright for a quick laugh at the tongue-in-cheek commentary - and by quick, I mean quick. One of the shortest audiobooks I've encountered. I listened to the audiobook and enjoyed it during my commutes.

    Good book, poor sound quality

    Enjoyed the book but the recording was really poor. Sounded like he was speaking into a can. Really distracted from the great comedy of Mr Stewart
