President Me: The America that’s in My Head

Adam Carolla, read by the author. HarperAudio, , abridged, $29.99 ISBN 978-0-06-233202-8

Comedian Carolla delivers the down and dirty about who is really at fault for the country’s woes and how he would fix things were he president. He airs traditional conservative views, as well as his own wish list of inane and amusing changes to the country he wants to improve, such as turning lanes in California and strip clubs. As a TV show and podcast host, he is, for the most part, a perfect narrator. He nails the punch lines and knows how to keep his voice interesting. There are parts of the recording where Carolla goes off script, ad-libbing riffs off his own material, which is one of the perks of the audio edition; however, it is not always clear if he is going off script intentionally or stumbling. Fans of the Adam Carolla Show podcast will enjoy all his performance has to offer, but those unfamiliar with him are not likely to be as easily enthralled. An IT Books hardcover. (June)
