The Daily Show with Jon Stewart Presents Earth (The Audiobook)

A Visitor's Guide to the Human Race

De: Jon Stewart

Narrado por: Jon Stewart, Samantha Bee, Wyatt Cenac, Jason Jones, John Oliver

The eagerly awaited new audiobook from the Emmy-winning, Oscar-hosting, Daily Show-anchoring Jon Stewart - the man behind the mega seller America (The Book).

Where do we come from? Who created us? Why are we here? These questions have puzzled us since the dawn of time, but when it became apparent to Jon Stewart and the writers of The Daily Show that the world was about to end, they embarked on a massive mission to write a book that summed up the human race: What we looked like; what we accomplished; our achievements in society, government, religion, science and culture.

After two weeks of hard work, they had their book. Earth (The Book) is the definitive guide to our species. With their trademark wit, irreverence, and intelligence, Stewart and his team will posthumously answer all of life's most hard-hitting questions, completely unburdened by objectivity, journalistic integrity, or even accuracy.

Worth the dowload

This was the first audio book that I listened to that was specifically made for the audio format. It was very funny. Some parts made me laugh out loud even. Overall I would say that it was just good, not great. But totally worth the download.

A bit disappointed

After having listened to "A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction" and loving it, I truly looked forward to listening to this latest book. Though there were some smart commentaries on culture as we know it, a lot of the humor, and delivery was IMHO sophomoric and forced.....I expected more from this team.

Stewart is da man

This is a book that can be enjoyed multiple times, with new nuances gathered in repeated listenings.

A "Back-Handed" Compliment from a fan.

A "generous" 3 stars to this book (mostly because I'm a devoted fan).
It's nice that added narrations are provided by other "Reporters" from the show, and Mr. Stewart's "narration" is as good as his nightly deadpan performance on "The Daily Show."
If you're a fan of the show, you'll love it.
If your a fan of Political Satire, you'll like it.
But, I can't help but feel that this would have made a "Better Than Average" "Daily Show Special if given a slightly larger than normal budget.
Still, I did enjoy and was very happy to find it was so very quickly made available to the Audible.com membership.

So needed

Enjoy the searing view offered here, and share it with your friends and family, AMEN

Few chuckles and overall a pleasant read

The book is not that great as the show, so the people who love the show might be a little disappointed. I gave it 4 stars because certain chapters of the book were really funny.The jokes did get repetitive but listening to the entire cast of The Daily Show was a treat.

Jon Stewart comedy but in a boring format

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I would generally not recommend this book. There are some very funny moments but the majority of the book is rather mediocre and the format pretty dry. You would be better served watching some funny YouTube clibs of Jon Stewart than paying the money for this book.

Earth

We need more disruptors...

Witty commentary on current world order (or lack thereof). Pithy takedowns of morally corrupt "establishments." The political slant: If more moderates with a conscience would get involved, then the voices of extremism would be marginalized.

Hilarious

Love the satirical nature of this book :)
An extraterrestrial view of the triumphs and mostly pitfalls of human history.
