I went into this with high expectations. David Cross is one of my favorite comedians and his CD Shut Up, You Fucking Baby! is one of the few physical CDs I still listen to. That said, there’s something missing here and I’m not quite sure what it is. Every time I picked the book up, I could hardly get through 10 pages at a time. I started it on a 7 hour flight to London, planning on finishing it on the way, but barely got half way on both the initial flight and the return home. Nearly two months later, I’m done and I still can’t figure out why it isn’t clicking. The one thing it does have going for it is continued attacks on a Mr. James Belushi.
Anyway, a “friend” has a copy of the audiobook, so maybe I’ll give that a listen and see if Cross’s voice and delivery improves my connection to the material.
