review 1: I listened to the audio book (as I usually always try to do when comedians write books - it's always so great to hear the words in their own voice). I really enjoyed it. Susie's funny, clever, and her "takes" on love, life, and performing are actually dead on. I'd have given this 5 stars, but I knocked half off only because it was a little repetitive and at times the audio was a bit too "read-y," which was a little disappointing. 4 1/2 stars
review 2: If I was older I probably would have enjoyed this book (audiobook) a lot more. I couldn't relate to her issues with marriage and children or menopause, but it had some good moments. My favorite parts were her chapters on how/why she got into comedy and Curb Your Enthusiasm, which were the reasons I was interes... moreted in the book in the first place. I don't like self improvement books and this is what What Would Susie Say? mostly was. She talks about relationships, friendships, germs, health and so on. Most of her advice on relationships and kindness were just cliches, and a lot of the book was very redundant. Essman also pointed out the obvious, a lot, like if you're in an abusive relationship you should get out. Had I actually read this book instead of listening to it I probably would have like it less, listening to the author tell her own story definitely adds something to the book. less
