What This Comedian Said Will Shock You

De: Bill Maher

Narrado por: Bill Maher

The hilarious and controversial host of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher has written his funniest, most opinionated, and most necessary book ever—a brilliantly astute and acerbically funny vivisection of American life, politics, and culture.

Some of the smartest commentary about what’s happening in America is coming from a comedian—this comedian being Bill Maher. If you want to understand what’s wrong with this country, it turns out that one of the best informed and most thought-provoking analysts is this very funny pothead.

The book was inspired by the “editorial” Bill delivers at the end of each episode of Real Time. These editorials are direct-to-camera sermons about culture, politics, and what’s happening in the world. To put this book together, Maher reviewed more than a decade of his editorials, rewriting, reimagining, and updating them, and adding new material to speak exactly to the moment we’re in. Free speech, cops, drugs, race, religion, the generations, cancel culture, the parties, the media, show biz, romance, health—Maher covers it all. The result is a hugely entertaining work of commentary about American culture in the tradition of Mark Twain, Will Rogers, and H. L. Mencken.

Bill is Sharp as ever

But I disliked the chapter on Trump. I’m just Sick of hearing about that evil man and his followers plus the book could have been longer… more chapters

off ramp for the civil war

I feel appreciative about the focus and conviction the author and his team put in to deliver perspective that both sides are struggling with enemies images of each other. In this time of conflict, emotional sobriety, empathy and compassion for the other person point of view rather than labels, name calling and diagnosis will allow us to emphasize the United in the United States of America 🇺🇸.

Balanced...although

I His frankness to call balls and strikes on both sides. I am not sure he gives religion a fair chance.

Disagree to agree to agree to disagree

Although there were some to many things I might have disagreed with there there Ty were just as many things I agreed with and yalso points that changed my POV on many things . All while laughing at issues that were serious. Which I really appreciated. Great book. United we stand, Even if we may disagree.

Funny and thought provoking

Bill reminds me of many important things while making me laugh. Get out of the news echo chamber and think about things with an open mind.

A Bit Repetitive

Overall, an enjoyable listen. However, after many hours and frequent repetition, it became somewhat tedious. Recommend the book but don’t expect fresh and exciting.

Bill always gives it to us straight

This book was fantastic. If you are a fan of Real Time you will love this book. I love how he talks about unity and not making people with different political ideologies your enemy. It was so enjoyable to read something that made me laugh so much. A big fan of Bill, his show and this book.
