Decent book, felt a little too short. I really like zach’s stand up, which lead me to read it. Was entertaining enough but probably wouldn’t suggest as a must-read.

Fast, funny, pointed. Relatable even if it’s not. Loved!

This was not the most prolific set of personal/humor essays I've ever read, but it did have some merit. I most enjoyed reading Zach's thoughts breaking generational curses and how for his Dad, not being an alcoholic that beats your kids is a step in the right direction. For Zach, not pedalling harmful christian beliefs to his future kids will be the next generational curse broken. Not laugh-out-loud funny, but also not a total snooze-fest. At times I felt the essays to jump around in a way that was hard to follow, and disrupted the flow of the writing. I think sometimes comedians who are used to performing stand-up learn to rely so heavily on the tone and delivery of their jokes, that when they attempt to write a memoir such as this one the delivery gets a bit lost in translation.

Although this was not the tear-jerking and knew-slapping book that was promised, the retelling of Creation was. I think as someone who is Southern-born with Yankee parents, I was not shocked by the stories that Zach told. I will note that the story about the salad is 100% accurate- that salad will not be eaten at a true Southern meal.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC and I hope others enjoy this quick and fun read.
