4.5 for the book itself, 5 for the audiobook read by Bamford. I've been watching her standup for years and love basically everything she does. However, her work almost always sings when she delves into self-revelation and this book is FULL of that.
DNF. After 6 chapters, I can tell I'm just not the target audience. I enjoyed her “You Are A Comedy Special” book, but this book is too frenetic for me. I'm sure it's a gold mine of hilarity for hardcore Maria Bamford fans.
One of those books I'm glad I read it via audiobook, read directly by the author. Very personal very real and well told.
Was judging the book by its cover [title] and expecting to read a memoir about someone who was involved in cults. However, while it is a memoir it rather focuses around several ‘cults' typical of our modern day such as mental health, dieting, fame etc., which I wasn't interested in reading.
