Acerca de esta escucha

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 Lewis Black's volcanic eruptions can be found 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 anti-authoritarian 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)

I liked it from the start, but it grew on me even more over the years. Not to be taken too seriously of course. It's his anecdotal personal history and worldview, presented with his brand of comedy. It often enough works in my case.

It's a matter of taste. It grew on me.

I am usually a HUGE fan of lewis black, I find his dry sarcastic humor hilarious! So when i saw his book on audible it was a no brainier for me to buy it. However just 2 chapters in I find myself not listening to what I hoped would be his kinda biography/rant on the world instead I found myself knee deep in one of the most disgusting books I've ever heard/read/smelled. I know there will be some hard-core lewis black fans that will curse me up and down for dissing this book, but I found it very unnecessarily vulgar and not even that funny for the most part. I recommend staying away from this one folks, not worth it.

So disappointing and unnecessarily vulgar.

it's just a rehash of his stand up with some autobiographical stuff. I am a fan of his, but can't recommend this book at all. Sorry Lewis, but this was just cashing in, and you can tell you weren't into it.

fan of his stand up, book wasn't worth it

What a disappointment. I'm a huge fan of Lewis Black's political commentary, but this book is an attempt at a humorous autobiography.

Turns out listening to him rail on about the 60s, suburbia, and regale us with tales of his drug experiences...not funny. I didn't even finish it.

Other people's drug stories - are NOT funny

Here's my Lewis Black history: originally though he was a loud-mouthed hack of a comic who would deliver punch lines with all the subtly of a Mack truck. The louder the scream, the funnier it must be when the philosophy. But as time went on, I grew to enjoy his scathing sarcasm and increasingly looked forward to his stints on the Daily Show. I bought this audiobook with some anticipation.

The book, however, contains very little of Black's humor and even less of his style and delivery. If you're interested in hearing how yet another comic/entertainer/person of note got to where they are today, by all means pick this one up. You'll get your fill of "growing up" stories and descriptions of a "summer in Europe". But don't expect to laugh.

To answer your question Mr. Black, "Yes, you are funny but no, you cannot write funny."

Nothing's creative in this clunker

Lewis Black hit his apogee at "if it weren't for my horse". And he hasn't had an orginal thought since. It's like he pulls all his material from sitcoms he's watched. Everything he says in this book is either obvious, cliche, or just plain boring. It's just painful to listen to... but I'm still trying just because I paid for it.

It's sad when they don't know when to quit

I can only take so much of Lewis. This did not have me LOL. It was interesting, but not amusing.

You have to love Lewis

Sorry, I have been an audio listener for over 10 years now and rarely write reviews, but I feel compelled to write this one. NOT very funny. Sort of mundane stories... a lot like my life... who really cares?

The rants are really NOT very scathing or over the top. Would recommend Dennis Miller for those. The story of Black's life and reflections are really not very different from most Americans. Would recommend Margaret Cho's commedy for that.

Sorry but bellow average Audible listen. What is really disappointing is that after I saw Jack Black on the Tonight show and loved his comedy, I was really hoping that this book would reflects the same qualities and hummor ... it does not.

EHHH....Not too funny..boring

Though I have always been a fan of Lewis Black, this book was disappointing. It is marginally/occasionally funny, but often stupid, and boring to listen to. I do not recommend this book.

Don't expect his Daily Show musings. It's just a biography. And if a biography of great people are sometimes boring, you need only imagine the drudgery to befall you after listening to this.
