The cover is a little different, but that does not matter to me. The writing style is very informal and conversational. This is not something I prefer. Stylistically it is not great, but the content is interesting. She has a lot of stories to share and I quiet enjoy reading this book, even though I don't usually read this style of writing.

Amy Goes Deep--And Stays Funny

Reviewed in the United States on 17 August 2016

Verified Purchase

"I've never been a smile and nod type of girl, nor have I ever been one to get out of the kitchen."

I'm probably like a lot of the people who will read this book. I've always counted myself as an Amy Schumer fan, although I haven't seen Trainwreck and am like a season behind Inside Amy Schumer. I read obsessively every female comedian memoir as soon as it comes out. (For the record, the best is Bossypants, followed by Is Everyone Hanging Out... and Girl Walks Into a Bar.) I was a little nervous going into this book because I've been disappointed by the recent spate of female comedian essay books, and reading the first chapter of this book only made me more nervous. Amy jumps right in with a "Letter to My Vagina," skipping the usual "Hi there Reader" introduction. I was worried I wouldn't be able to connect with her as an author, and that the book might be full of over the top "let me shock you!" moments.

I was wrong on both counts. Oh, sure, Amy doesn't skimp on the sex stuff, but the book is as tasteful as I could imagine Amy Schumer writing. Yes, it's funny-- Amy's voice comes through on the page well, so you can imagine the dry way she says one thing or the way she might SHOUT something else, and there are plenty of clever little asides that you have to highlight. But what I liked most about this book was something else: its honesty.

Honesty is something that I think is rarely done well in these kinds of books, and attempts to do it can make the author seem false or pretentious. It sunk, for me, at least two high-profile memoirs in recent years. But Amy Schumer tells it like it is in a way that really connected with me. When someone is famous it's easy to think you know them, or even worse, own them. I thought I knew Amy Schumer, but I didn't. I didn't know about the non consensual way she lost her virginity, or her abusive relationship, or her relationship with both parents. I knew a public image, but Amy goes past that in this book to incredible effect.

The "serious" chapters are honestly among the book's best. Some people might say that how Amy lost her virginity isn't that bad, but Amy tells it in such a simple, devastating way that the effect it had on her, and how unacceptable it was, is clear. Same with the "The Worst Night of My Life" chapter. There is a chapter about the shooting that occurred during a showing of "Trainwreck" which gives focus to the victims and doesn't shy away from gun control (which I assume might be part of the reason this site is flooded with fake one star reviews). One of my favorite chapters retells her famous "I've got to get me out of here" speech and adds a later anecdote about being set up by a matchmaker for "Amy Goes Deep" who only took into account Amy's looks. Brutual honesty is often offset by gentle humor so it's never "too much" to read.

Back to the funny-- I loved the bits from Amy's diaries, with present-day commentary, and her recounting of the last time she got blackout drunk. I'm going to do something I never do and buy the Audiobook of a book I've already read, just because I want to hear this all in Amy's own voice.

In sum and in short: if you liked any female comedian essay collections, from Bossypants to How to Be A Woman, read this one immediately. It's absolutely among the best.

Candid, hilarious, with an important message

Reviewed in the United States on 23 August 2016

Verified Purchase

I gave this autobiography four stars because it is so honest and spares seemingly no detail about even unflattering or unsavory events in Ms. Schumer's life, all the while remaining very, very funny. Also anyone curious about the process of how to get good as a live performer will like how vividly she evokes the backbreaking and lengthy apprenticeship she had as a novice comedian in order to get as expert as she currently is. A quibble I have is that the writing is a little bland. A more serious issue I have is that the book's handling of female body image insecurity and unfair societal beauty standards. She will veer between hilarious one-liners in which she skewers her own looks and then paragraphs where she attacks our relentlessly enforced cookie-cutter beauty ideal and says that she, and in fact all women, is also beautiful and we should never feel ashamed of our looks. I am oversimplifying but not by much. It is a dual message she never resolves. Lastly, some of her fun at the expense of others feels deserved but some of it feels unnecessarily harsh. You have the sense that she doesn't always have the greatest radar for how cutting she can be, or, worse yet, feels subtly entitled to not care. Her toughness and thick skin are clearly necessary assets, I get it, and her description about how important to her future success acquiring them were, even if it be via unconventional means such as learning in her teens how to shoplift copiously, is a classic if quirky bit of wisdom to add to the feminist canon. But, please, a little more care with the claws--some of the poor schlubs who are the target of her takedowns really seem too pathetic to have earned such vitriol. Notwithstanding, such moments are fortunately few, and far outnumbered by the times she writes about even very fraught emotional encounters with tact and sensitivity. If you are an ambitious woman who enjoys learning how other women managed to put a successful career together you will especially enjoy this book, but any Amy Schumer fan will enjoy learning about her background and being treated to her humor in spades. The generous selection of family photographs is a special treat.

Unsurprisingly funny and candid, with serious bits

Reviewed in the United States on 10 September 2016

Verified Purchase

If you are familiar with Amy Schumer and her comedy, you likely think either the sun shines out of her ass or she’s awful. I’m in the former camp. I enjoy her sketch show, Inside Amy Schumer, and her stand-up, as well as her movie, Trainwreck. If you like Schumer, I can’t imagine you wouldn’t like The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo.

Written as a series of essays and lists, plus excerpts from her old diaries (with footnotes), accompanied by often hilarious photos, the book is unsurprisingly candid and funny. What did surprise me were the serious bits–still told with humor, except for the chapter on the shooting at a screening of her movie–her relationship with an abusive guy, her non-consensual loss of virginity, her introversion. I hadn’t previously read or heard many interviews with her, so these details of her personal life were news to me. She’s survived much more than being a woman in the world of comedy and entertainment.

My only worry beginning this book was that it would contain too many jokes from her stand-up; that fear is definitely unwarranted. The tone is familiar–and I might just have to listen to the audio book–but the content is fresh. I laughed out loud at least once most chapters, often suddenly from an offhand-feeling quip. I appreciated her vulnerability, but let’s be real; if this book weren’t funny, I’d be disappointed.

Although early on she states that it’s not a self-help book, there are still plenty of moments when Schumer writes directly to the reader or otherwise points to the lessons she’s learned, or, more accurately, how she gets on with things and lives her life. Most aren’t a surprise, at least to me, but she doesn’t become preachy and those bits are borne of personal experience.

I hope she writes the theoretical future books she mentions. Especially Juggling Dicks.

Can't Put This Book Down

Reviewed in the United States on 19 August 2016

Verified Purchase

I have never written an Amazon review but I feel like I owe it to Amy. She has done so much for women - I remember seeing her stand-up tour a few year's back on New Year's Eve in San Francisco (possibly 2013?)-- and have been a fan of hers before she got super super famous. I remember her then boyfriend and she performed together on new year's eve (Anthony Jeselnik) and they kissed after their set--I remember thinking how this would one day be a memory for her (I didn't think that would last even though I really had no insight into their relationship--just thought he wasn't my favorite)--and it was another reminder that people like Amy are living and creating memories in the spotlight--dating people who could be mistakes and doing it all in public for us to see. I'm impressed by how real and raw she is able to be despite being so in the spotlight today. I can't put down the book - I'm about to go into labor in two days and it's a welcome distraction from real life! She reveals painful and honest stories about her life I never knew before - but important lessons that women need to hear about domestic abuse and rape. Even she says in the book people are surprised to learn the stuff she has been through--even a strong woman like Amy has struggled with an abusive relationship and losing her virginity in a rape by a man she knew. Even through all the painful stories the book is hilarious, honest, engaging, well-written and authentically Amy material. There are lessons in there on life and success for both women and men. I'm waiting for Amy to start her own media empire such as OWN - which many of us will gladly watch - she has been able to distill modern life and modern culture, for women and men, in a way no one else has. I love learning about Amy's past and the experiences that have shaped her world view such as going through childhood with her dad, his illness and so many other points of pain and hardship. Amy's book is a must-read. You will read it in a few days or less. I highly recommend.

Went in with too high of expectations

Reviewed in the United States on 27 November 2016

Verified Purchase

I love Amy - she is such a funny comedian - so I feel badly not giving her a huge endorsement on her book. I was really excited to get it and I got it on CD because a) I love listening to books in the car and b) I was excited that she was reading it.
But sadly I was disappointed. Honestly, 2 CDs into the story I stopped and then gave all the CD's to a friend hoping she'd like it more.
My thoughts:
There are definitely funny moments and she is obviously a talented comedian but I think she definitely shines more when doing stand up. Perhaps because she is so good at stand up I had too high of expectations.
I felt like she gave good insight into her life, but it didn't have the same fun shocking comedy that I am used to from her. And the timing felt a little off. I think it's probably hard because she is used to being more short and snappy. And writing a memoir is obviously hard in itself - I've gone to school for memoir and now teach it and it is very tricky to master.
Spoiler Alert: Some of the content threw me off as well, which I don't like to judge when I normally read (listen to) memoirs, but in this case I couldn't help it because she is a public persona and her art is talking about her life. One thing I didn't like was when she said that she's only had one one-night-stand. I realize that this is a strange thing to judge someone for, but it just seemed so contrary to the sexually open/empowered slash overly ridiculous but also relatable comedian she is on stage. It didn't seem to match at all. Again this is a weird thing to judge someone for and also perhaps she ramps up her sexuality on stage just for laughs. But this part of the book made me feel thrown off and disconnected.
The other thing that really bothered me was her attitude towards shoplifting. (Again, it is probably not fair to judge someone on the content rather than the writing itself.) She seemed to think that it was ok to steal from larger stores, just not from mom and pop stores. She said that it was wrong, but it seemed very flippant and like she didn't believe it. Now, it is fine that she stole when she was younger if she either a) shows that she has a true realization later that it was wrong or b) says that she still doesn't think it was wrong and why and shows that she realizes that this is contrary to popular belief. I may be over sensitive to the subject - I have a strong moral stance on stealing, unless it was a dire situation and you had to feed your children or something. It just seems so entitled to me.
That said, I am not perfect at all. I have done many immoral things. Everyone is human. But I think that an author needs to be honest with their feelings about what they've done and not brush it aside with a seemingly untruthful sentence.
I did like when she read from a journal that she wrote when she was younger and gave her thoughts/footnotes on what she had said. This was really funny. I think it is because it played to her talents - short witty comments.
All in all, I think that Amy is extremely talented. She is a great comedian and a great actress. She was trying something with this book and it was a challenging endeavor. I needed to think about that when I started it because my extremely high expectations of her left me disappointed.
I, however, am sure that we will see great things from Amy in the future. She is a bright star!
