2.0

Let me preface this by saying, Bianca del Rio is an amazing stand-up insult comic, and she is worth seeing in a live performance. Her comedy is hilarious, clever, and absolutely brilliant. Sadly, none of these adjectives could be used to describe Blame it on Bianca del Rio.

Really, this was a disappointment. It could simply be that her brand of comedy just does not translate well to a printed format, but I don't find that to be the case here. Many of the jokes were obvious, common denominator duds; more cringe than anything. Bianca is many things, but I never thought she could be "lazy" until I read this book.

She says it all, "Enjoy. Or don't. You already bought the book; I don't care." Yes, that much is obvious. I know her schedule is crazy, but I think the book suffered from lack of time and effort, that much was obvious. Again, it's a let down that is not an accurate representation of just how funny and clever she really can be.

If this book was your introduction to Bianca, don't let this be what sets your opinion of her.
