""Amy's got your back. She's in your corner. She's an honesty bomb. And she's coming for you."" âActress Tilda Swinton and Trainwreck co-star The Emmy Award-winning comedian, actress, writer, and star of Inside Amy Schumer and the acclaimed film Trainwreck has taken the entertainment world by storm with her winning blend of smart, satirical humor. Now, Amy Schumer has written a refreshingly candid and uproariously funny collection of (extremely) personal and observational essays. In The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo, Amy mines her past for stories about her teenage years, her family, relationships, and sex and shares the experiences that have shaped who she isâa woman with the courage to bare her soul to stand up for what she believes in, all while making us laugh. Ranging from the raucous to the romantic, the heartfelt to the harrowing, this highly entertaining and universally appealing collection is the literary equivalent of a night out with your best friendâan unforgettable and fun adventure that you wish could last forever. Whether she's experiencing lust-at-first-sight while in the airport security line, sharing her own views on love and marriage, admitting to being an introvert, or discovering her cross-fit instructor's secret bad habit, Amy Schumer proves to be a bighearted, brave, and thoughtful storyteller that will leave you nodding your head in recognition, laughing out loud, and sobbing uncontrollablyâbut only because it's over.

De llorar de la risa. En este libro cuenta anécdotas personales con su estilo de humor habitual, y no defrauda. Se lo he dejado a varias personas ya. Lo he llevado en el autobús, en la sala de espera del médico... Y me he tenido que aguantar la risa en algunos momentos porque se me quedaba mirando la gente. Buenísimo.

Very honest and funny

I really appreciate Amy's honest and down to earth memoir. She explains the more personal aspects of her life, family and career, in a way anyone can relate to.

I particularly liked the feminist aspect, which is not so much political as it is an honest description of how society still holds us to a double standard..

Amy Schumer at her best

Revisado en España el 5 de septiembre de 2016

Probably would have been a better book if she'd just stolen it like she does with her jokes, not recommended

Funny and real

Revisado en los Estados Unidos el 12 de noviembre de 2023

I think Amy Schumer is very funny, so I had to read her book, The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo. I had a difficult time getting into it. I had to imagine Amy's voice dictating to me, and that wasn't very easy. Then I had a friend tell me it's better on Audible. So I listened while I read and got totally into it.
Amy writes as she talks, and I loved it. Her very real struggles, accomplishments, and everything (I mean everything, she didn't hold back on anything) in between. I laughed, I cried, I smiled, and I became obsessed with finishing this book. I really enjoyed Amy's very honest words and the way she talks about gun violence and abuse, which are both difficult topics, was not offensive, and very serious. I liked knowing one of my favorite comedians has a very serious side, too.
All in all, I learned many details I may or may not need to know in the future, but I was entertained throughout Amy's book.

Amy Goes Deep--And Stays Funny

"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

Revisado en los Estados Unidos el 23 de agosto de 2016

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

Revisado en los Estados Unidos el 10 de septiembre de 2016

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.
