Based on a True Story: Not a Memoir

Rarely have I read a funnier or better book. The genius of Norm Macdonald continues to stand out.

Awesome book. Must buy if you have enjoyed his stand up and sense of humor.

I have listened to the audiobook and read the ebook from the funny fella and just want the book to be there, at arms reach, till the end of time. And if I tie my end of time to this quality of paper, I maybe have a year to live. I have seen better paper quality in the books sold outside the railway station...at the tenth of the price.

Excellent book

Shakespeare, Dostoevsky, Nietzsche, Solzhenitsyn, Macdonald...

Simply put, It's the comedic masterpiece from a comedic mastermind.

SPLENDIDLY SPLENDID SPLENDID SPLENDID SPLENDID SPLENDID SPLENDID SPLENDID!

The book is nowhere close to the audacity that Norm MacDonald is in real life. Quite disappointing from that perspective. You only have to look at his standup and especially his interviews with Letterman, Conan, Jon Stewart (the one blasting the then-recently demised crocodile hunter) to get a full account of the man's genius. The book in no way stands up to that body of work.
