Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
Congratulations--just by looking at this webpage, you became 25% more patriotic.

From Stephen Colbert, the host of television's highest-rated punditry show The Colbert Report, comes the book to fill the other 23¿ hours of your day. I Am America (And So Can You!) contains all of the opinions that Stephen doesn't have time to shoehorn into his nightly broadcast.

Dictated directly into a microcassette recorder over a three-day weekend, this book contains Stephen's most deeply held knee-jerk beliefs on The American Family, Race, Religion, Sex, Sports, and many more topics, conveniently arranged in chapter form.

Always controversial and outspoken, Stephen addresses why Hollywood is destroying America by inches, why evolution is a fraud, and why the elderly should be harnessed to millstones.

You may not agree with everything Stephen says, but at the very least, you'll understand that your differing opinion is wrong.

I Am America (And So Can You!) showcases Stephen Colbert at his most eloquent and impassioned. He is an unrelenting fighter for the soul of America, and in this book he fights the good fight for the traditional values that have served this country so well for so long.

User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 2 out of 5 stars - Don't waste your time or money
Downloads in 15 seconds, and takes about as long to figure out that he was simply capitalizing on his celebrity. I THOUGHT I would enjoy a light, funny read but instead subjected myself to a long run-on disjointed and runaway thought train that seemed to have no real destination. I eventually stopped reading after giving him some room to be funny or interesting, or SOMETHING. But now I have a new resentment in my life... that he's taking up room on my Kindle, plus it's a frequent reminder that I was hoodwinked out of 9.99 when 1.99 might have left me feeling chagrinned, but at least not ripped off.

Stephen, stick to TV. You ARE funnier there and it costs us nothing.



Rated by buyers 2 out of 5 stars - Don't Waste Your Money
I am glad I got this from my local library rather than waste good money. While entertaining at times, this mishmash of nonsense has the feel of Colbert's appearance - a deer caught in the headlights, and wired out on caffeine.



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - More of the same from the TV Show
I'm a huge fan of Colbert, but unfortunately I felt a little robbed after buying this book. The book is undoubtedly amusing but it mainly illicits chuckles and grins from the reader rather than genuine laugh-out-loud moments, which you would come across infrequently throughout the entire book.

This stems from the fact that the entire book is more or less the same diatribes from his show (mainly "The Word" segment), just converted to text and far more lengthy. And its other significant flaw is that it is just not insightful enough to be memorable.

Don't get me wrong, if you're a Colbert fan this is a book worth reading - just not to be bought as a pricey hardcover.



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Unreadable images on the Kindle
The book is great, the very first half had me in stitches. Unfortunately as a reader on the Kindle I couldn't make out most of the images. If they were available at higher resolution and with the proper contrast they would be OK, so its not a limitation of the Kindle. The publisher obviously never previewed the book on the Kindle before sending it out.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - I Am America!
If you like The Colbert Report, you will love this book! It is typical Stephen Colbert humor, and you even get "The Word" as you read. This book is hilarious and a must-read for anyone who likes sarcasm and outrageous humor. It is full of truthiness! Be a hero, read this book, and I promise, you will laugh out loud!
