A much-needed laugh

5 out of 5 stars

When I saw that Anna had a book coming out I quickly checked to see if it was going to be Audible and I was relieved.  I love listening to memoirs read by the author.  Especially if the author is an actor or a comedian. There is something there in the audiobook that you can’t get from reading it.

Scrappy Little Nobody was no different. Anna’s narration really made this book in my opinion.  I’m sure that reading it on your own you could have enjoyed it just as much — but hearing her actual reactions to things she wrote on top of hearing her tell you stories that were funny and sometimes embarrassing really put this book over the top.

I started this book on a day where I wasn’t having a good morning (are there such a thing as a good morning?) And within the first few minutes of my drive I was already laughing and smiling like an idiot during my commute.  The rest of the book kept me smiling and laughing.

Anna’s story was really well thought out and I’m glad (and a little amazed) that she was able to get as much intimacy onto the page and into the audiobook.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who needs a good laugh, especially if you like a slightly cynical and real celebrity.

    1. I really enjoy a good memoir, but only if they are funny. I listen to a lot of stand-up comedy – so most of those are really funny. This was really enjoyable though. Anna’s dry comedic wit really had me dying on my drives into work.
