The book is mainly an American social commentary written from the perspective of an observer. The author (long time comedian George Carlin) puts together what seems like a journal, offering up his thoughts in a comedic light. He touches on a wide range of topics including pop-culture, politics, religion, and culture, just to name a few. Although very funny at times, the book is nothing more than one man’s opinions on a range of topics. After the first 20 pages, his “in your face” and “lets shock’em with my wild ideas” style got really old. But I ended up reading the entire book, because George Carlin is a great comedian, and this comes through in the book.
