Samantha Bee is Canadian - whatever that means. You'll find out what it means - to her at least - in this highly hilarious collection of essays about her life. From her childhood to her teen years, from the time she spent as a Japanese anime character to her position with The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, you'll laugh hysterically as you read these stories.

I have to admit - memoirs are not generally my type of book. I know I have 2 memoir reviews here (The Heroin Diaries by Nikki Sixx and Japan Took the J.A.P Out of Me by Lisa Fineberg Cook) but I really am not a big memoir fan. I just don't care to read about someone else's real life experiences. I suppose you could say that I don't like to do so because frankly, half the time it makes me feel like I've done absolutely nothing with my life.

However, this memoir, this collection of essays about Samantha's life are not your typical memoir. This is funny. You don't get the sad times, the bad times, the gloomy stuff. You get the hilarity of life. Samantha knows that life isn't all hardships. It isn't all bad things. She also knows that sometimes you have to show people that life is fun and that there is hilarity in life. She really brings that to the forefront.

Whether she is speaking of her childhood, or things that happened to her as an adult, Samantha has a real knack for finding the humorous side of anything. If you like humorous memoirs, I highly recommend you check this book out. You'll be laughing from cover to cover!
