How to Be Black Audiobook

" I like Baratunde on TWiT and thought I'd enjoy this book but unfortunately it mostly fell flat with just a few occasional funny moments. It's not terrible but I wouldn't describe it as particularly great either. "

" Thurston is very smart, very funny. The book is quite padded, in the way that books by comedians tend to be. The stuff about growing up in DC in the 80s, and especially about his Afrocentric, COBOL-programming mother was genuinely fascinating. I'd definitely read a longer book about her. It was short and quick. "

" Some laugh out loud funny lines and good points made. I read the book but I bet it's good, perhaps better, in audiobook format. "

" I get what the author was trying to do with this book but it was hard for me to read it. There were some funny parts and some parts that would enlighten a few but overall I just could not get into it and as a matter of fact I never finished the book. "

" Baratunde was coming to a corp event to speak so I decided to listen to this book (I had never heard of it or him). About 20 min in...I because a HUGE fan! Baratunde is so funny and clever. I spoke to him at the event and even he said listening is better than reading. This is really Laugh out Loud funny. "

" I enjoyed this book, I found myself chuckling out loud and frequently reading passages to my friends. It's a funny memoir with an ever-present current of truth running through it. I'd recommend it. "

" Very funny. Very smart. "

" LOL, is what this book is doing to me on public transportation, the weird stares and perplexed looks. I just can't put it down at the moment, and I can actually relate to some of his stories. I intend to hand it over to my girlfriend after. "

" Humor you can appreciate if you live in DC and a great beach read since it's easy to pick up and put down. Overall, I really enjoyed it. "

" A sharp, satirical window into the African-American experience. I'm so glad I chose the Audiobook version, which Baratunde reads himself. And I'm so glad I listen to TWIT and heard him plugging his book! (Although I'm not 100% convinced listening to a book counts as "reading".) "

" I loved this book. It's a great, entertaining read that gets you to consider how you/I/we all think about and act upon racial issues in this country. Very funny, engaging. Love this book. "

" I read the book to LMAO and, at best, compare experiences. I did not expect to be inspired. Well played, Mr. Thurston. Well played. "

" I can sum up how I feel about this book within 3 words across 2 statements.. Fantastic.. Must Read... "

" Great read, funny, as well as thought provoking. Excellent way to discuss the issue of race in the USA. "
