I Have Chosen to Stay and Fight Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Some good bits interspersed between rantings. Was expecting more from a book read by the author -- less recitation, I suppose, and more conversationalistic style. Do not read/listen to unless you are liberal or have an open mind about such things as most of the ranting is aimed at close-minded conservatives but does not seem to distinguish them from open-minded conservatives at all. This book was culled from the authors blogs, which I assume is why there is so much ranting and less story-telling. "

" Blog-style ranting, not specifically good or bad. It is what it is. "

" word vomit "

" While I agree with some of her political views, reading this book is like reading a rant. It would probably be a lot more enjoyable in audio-book format. She has a lot of opinions but these are not well thought-out and researched arguments, and for me it doesn't work so well. It also feels really choppy. Still interesting stuff, and a rant about Ann Coulter is still amusing when read because I feel rants about Ann Coulter (anything negative, that is) are amusing in any form. "

" Funny, but a little too far on the political side of things. "

" Smart, funny, good light read. "

" So far, I like it, but it gets a little repetitive. I admire her writing and her using her celebrity for progressive causes, but her comedy is much better in person than written down. "

" I love Margart Cho! The chapter/essay "Feminism is a feminist issue " is something EVERYONE should read!! "

" I usually love Cho and I liked parts of this book, but it seriously was taken straight from her blog. There was no cohesion, but her take on politics, celebrity and everything in between is still biting and FUNNY "

" Written in 2005, Cho writes about racism, sexism, politics, and having the strength to keep fighting. "

" So funny!!! She goes off on some rants but overall so funny and truthful :) I love when she says the Oval Office should be called the Obtuse Office :) "

" Margaret Cho's stream-of-conscious ramblings about racial and sexual orientation prejudices are passionate, but still just ramblings. She said she adapted the book from her blog; it would have been nice if she had worked a little harder at fleshing out an actual book. "

" Margaret Cho says all the right things as an enlightened human. I feel, after reading this, like I have been trapped in elevator with her for twelve hours. The pacing of this book is ALL RANT, there's no change of tone like EVER. Let me out! "

" the survival guide to making it through to 2008 "

" Definitely made me respect Margaret Cho even more. I like that this was less like a comedian's autobiography, and more like the love child of a comedian's autobiography and an activist's political theory. Totally up my alley! "

" I love Margaret CHo, I really do. And I wanted to like this. It just didn't do much for me. "

" I agree with Margaret Cho on the issues, but I also agree with some previous reviewers: this one is not as funny as she can be. "

" So far, I like it, but it gets a little repetitive. I admire her writing and her using her celebrity for progressive causes, but her comedy is much better in person than written down. "

" I really like Margaret Cho so I expected to love this book. Instead it went back to the library unfinished... "

" I love you Margaret Cho! What a kick ass book. You make me laugh, you make me cry...let's get political! Love, love, love! "
