Nice ride with Lewis Black as he travels down memory lane to his days of play writing, political activism, and bittersweet civil servitude in the late 60's early 70's. (  ) kivarson | Nov 27, 2009 |  Very good. Funny. (  ) andres_ferraro | Oct 28, 2009 | Very good. Funny. ( ) andres_ferraro | Oct 27, 2009 | I was really disappointed in this book--I love his bits on the Daily Show and his stand-up is great, but this book just falls flat. (  ) ascgrrl | Oct 19, 2009 | I love the comedy of Lewis Black and this book managed to catch most of it. The only detractor from this book is the presentation. While Lewis Black can do his material as if he is on the verge of a total meltdown, his writing doesn’t portray that same sense. The material was funny and would have been perfect if I could have pictured Lewis Black saying the words himself. Still a very good and humorous read.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0743544536, Audio CD)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 antiauthoritarian 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.
