Hi! I’m Seth! I was asked to describe my audiobook, Yearbook for websites and shit like that, so...here it goes!!!

Yearbook is a collection of true stories that I desperately hope are just funny at worst, and life-changingly amazing at best. (I understand that it’s likely the former, which is a fancy “book” way of saying “the first one.”)

I talk about my grandparents, doing stand-up comedy as a teenager, bar mitzvahs, and Jewish summer camp, and tell way more stories about doing drugs than my mother would like. I also talk about some of my adventures in Los Angeles, and surely say things about other famous people that will create a wildly awkward conversation for me at a party one day.

I hope you enjoy the audiobook should you buy it, and if you don’t enjoy it, I’m sorry. If you ever see me on the street and explain the situation, I’ll do my best to make it up to you.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"It’s a real treat when a memoir by a comedian is actually as funny and vital as the work that got them into memoir-writing territory, but Yearbook is just that delightful.... Amusing and insightful.” (Vulture)

“In need of oddball anecdotes and lots of F bombs? Seth Rogen has you covered.... Yearbook features a hilarious collection of real-life stories and personal essays that delve into his adolescence and career.” (USA Today)

“The actor and writer will have you keeled over in laughter with his memoir, made up of a collection of essays that will make you think about the world differently.... Fasten your seatbelts for this page-turner, folks.” (Men’s Journal)

“At first I was worried that Seth was writing a book, because I was like, ‘Oh no! What’s he gonna say’? I was actually scared to even read it. But I’m very happy I did. It’s not really a memoir, like I thought it might be. I guess it’s more of a bunch of funny true stories? Does that make sense? He talks about doing stand-up when he was a kid (I drove him to all his shows!), his grandparents, high school, moving to LA, meeting some famous people, things like that. If I’m being honest, I really wish there wasn’t so much drug talk. Why does he need all that! It’s like, ‘We get it’! And some of the stories? I mean, they’re entertaining, but I was just shocked they happened and he never told me! Overall, I think it’s more sweet and funny than anything, so I like it, and I’m glad he wrote it, but I’d be even more glad if he called me more.” (Sandy Rogen, Seth’s mother)

Great listen

Love that Seth reads the book and adds extra commentary to the stories. I was entertained through each story and didn’t want it to end.

Terrific

An enjoyable and humorous book to listen to!
I appreciated hearing how Mr. Rogen got started in comedy, and the full-cast style production added a lot. I was especially fascinated to hear about the events around The Interview movie, this part was quite engaging. I really welcomed learning about the situation from one of the main participants.
The whole book was interesting and thought-provoking, particularly since I’m a middle-aged woman who lives a pretty ordinary life.

Just what you’d expect

It was funny and entertaining. Perry much exactly the kind of stuff you’d expect and then some. If you’re a fan at all, you’ll enjoy it.

Fantastic from beginning to end!

So many great stories. I really wish it kept going! I’m a big fan after listening to this book. Really enjoyed it.

entertaining

I mean that title is a good summary. it had me laughing at his story telling abilities. I would imagine the audible version even better with the ability to have Seth use his comedic timing

Great and funny read - don’t expect deep thoughts

Just some great stories from a clever and very funny comedian. It doesn’t get too deep and I wouldn’t call this a memoir so much as a collection of funny stories from his life told in no specific order.
Production value was great - got many actors to voice themselves and sound effects, etc. great listen.

Sad it's over

Thank you for making this book, and thanks for your candor. I would buy this over and over again.

Amazing

What a funny book. I truly enjoyed every moment of this audiobook. It was cool that there were different voices for the different characters.

If you like Seth Rogen, you will love Yearbook

Seth Rogen’s rise to international fame isn’t because of his outsized comic talent, smoldering good looks, or transformative acting ability. He’s passable enough in each category; it’s that Seth is every good friend you’ve had, rolled up into one silly, sweet, and sincere Canadian stoner.

The material around The Interview and George Lucas is most interesting, with an hour or so of ‘filler’ material spread out. But the reason to get this is the voice cast. 80 odd actors fill out the roles, many voicing themselves. Worth a listen for this alone - fans of Rogen’s comedy will get that much more out of it

Amazing

Awesome performances by voice actors and funny stories of Seth rogen are put together brilliantly. Would recommend for anyone
