review 1: How odd, to again give a Colbert book such a low rating. While this book was more up to date than the previous Colbert book I had read, it is strongly reminiscent of a term paper. It consists of a compilation of anecdotes and quotes from second-hand sources and no firsthand information. Moreover, most of what it contains is public knowledge.The writing is easy enough to parse and it was short. When I bought it, it was on sale for $2.99. I will add that paying the list price, $9.99, is absurd for a book this short lacking any firsthand research.
review 2: Even though it was a short biography, it captured the greatness of the funniest/smartest man on television. Its amazing how Colbert grew out of childhood tragedy to become the best media satirist. if you are a ... morefan of the Colbert Report, you need to read this. If you love Colbert the character, you'll love Colbert the man. Thoughtful, giving, and a wonderful father. This story is much more than truthiness. less
