I'd Like to Play Alone, Please: Essays

DNF after 31%. Love Tom Segura the comedian, pass on TS the author. This book was basically just an autobiography- cool I guess but not for me.

He's not my style of funny, but I won't give it a one star review because of that. I mean, I will in my heart, but not on Goodreads.

This was funny, but my problem with it is what I feel with most comedian books, which is that a lot of it is recycled from standup bits. Not all of it, though, and some is from podcast appearances - something more forgivable because if you listen to someone on enough podcasts, they are going to mention a lot of stories that they feel are worth telling. Still, this made me laugh several times, especially at things I thought wouldn't be funny but Tom's word choice and delivery makes it hysterical- like seeing Christopher Llyod picking his nose on a flight. Fans of Tom Segura will definitely appreciate this book, I'm not sure if it's a good book for people unfamiliar with Tom's humor to try.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the advanced copy!
