I liked this book. I realise that that sounds incredibly generic and boring but it's true. I gasped with surprise every time a celebrity name was mentioned (I mean who knew Amy knew one of the guys from The Beastie Boys?) and I had to suppress laughter while reading on the bus. My heart was warmed when I read about Amy's childhood and her children.
I have a hard time rating this book. It's funny (though more so in some parts than others) but you also don't learn a whole lot about Amy's life. It's crude but sweet - especially when she's talking about her kids. I listened to it in the car on my way home from work, which is what it was perfect for. I don't know if I'd sit down and read it, but I do recommend the audiobook version with its sidebars and guest readers. So thus it gets a 3 from me.
