Book #17- America Again

Title- America Again: Re-Becoming the Greatness We Never Weren't
Author- Stephen Colbert (and a staff of writers)
Series- Sequel to I Am America (And So Can You!)
Genre- Politics, humor
Pages- 240
Pages to date- 4,882

The Good:
This book is a funny, satirical look at America, particularly focusing on areas in which we struggle (food, healthcare, energy). The usual Colbert humor is present, poking fun at republicans by exaggerating their ideals (though not by much).

The Bad:
This installment lacks the taste of the original. The writers didn't quite capture Stephen Colbert's voice like they did in the first. Sure, the usual comedy is there, but it doesn't exactly feel like the show.

The Verdict:
America Again is good for a few laughs, but not as well-constructed as I Am America.

The Good:
This is a fun read with many interesting facts about the USA. The topics are compelling.

The Bad:
I knew most of the stuff already and it's not very in-depth (much like this post).

The Verdict:
Interesting, but superficial.
