Review – Why We Don’t Suck

Feb 5, 2018 | All of Us, Blogging Life, Book Reviews, Redefining Perfect

This starts as a bi-partisan, scathing a look at the current political system.  Much is revelatory and truthful, mixed with Leary’s usual wit and sarcasm. Nothing is really more funny than our current political climate, albeit scary.

What I liked best is that it didn’t lampoon, more deconstructed the current situations we face.  And Leary doesn’t appear to be afraid to say the truth, or how he perceives the truth. I found myself smiling a lot, not quite laughing out loud as much.  It’s not easy to condense his train of thought.

The latter part of the book switched more to his usual comedy, offering personal yet some incredible situations that come from stardom.  These kinds of tidbits are often comedy gold. There were only a few missteps in his narrative, but he’s also changed a bit since his previous book.  Changed massively since his standup days when I first heard him.

Good follow up to his previous book, which I recommend reading before starting this one.
