Comedian Amy Schumer talks straight about her volatile upbringing straight through to feature film success in The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo.
I happened to catch Schumer's Inside Amy Schumer television show and became a fan. I was eager to listen to the audiobook version of her autobiography, read by her and borrowed from the library.
Schumer has some breezy passages, like a lot of these essay collections from comedians often do (Sarah Silverman, Amy Poehler, Tina Fey) but is probably more unflinching in its portrayals of addiction and abuse than many readers may be ready for.
Schumer is always raw, frequently shockingly so, but the honesty in this collection sometimes caught me by surprise. I would rate it as very rewarding for fans, but the casual reader might want to know what they are getting into.
For my part, I liked Amy Schumer more after listening to this audiobook, and will continue to look for her work.
