Book Review #70: "The Awkward Thoughts of W. Kamau Bell"

Professional Reader




Hey Everyone,

     I am going to review the book "The Awkward Thoughts of W. Kamau Bell: Tales of a 6'4" African American, Heterosexual, Cisgender, Left Leaning, Asthmatic, Black and Proud Blerd, Mama's Boy, Dad, and Stand-Up Comedian," by W. Kamau Bell. This book is hot off the press as it was published on May 2, 2017 by Penguin Group: Dutton. For those of you who would like to purchase a copy of this book CLICK HERE. W. Kamau Bell is a well known sociopolitical stand-up comedian and and is the host of CNN docu-series "United Shades of America." This book is biography about the life and thoughts of W. Kamau Bell. It focuses on what it means to be a black comedian in the United States. 
     Overall I rated this book four stars out of five. This was a very comical and truly entertaining book on serious subjects such as racism in America. I love how the author W. Kamau Bell poured his heart and soul into this book. You could see his passion radiating out on every page. He talked about very serious subjects but in a light and sarcastic manner. He brought these subjects that no one likes to discuss to the forefront of our minds. This book is highly recommended and needs to be read by everyone.
     I would like to thank Netgalley, W. Kamau Bell, and Penguin Group: Dutton for giving me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Until the next page,

Jill
