Not terrible, but not great. As has been said before, much like a long long episode of the Report, but without the dynamism that an actual Colbert brings to the table. Likewise no guests. I found that the sidebars were occasionally amusing, but didn’t have the same impact that the Word does, as one has to actually interrupt the reading of the main text to get the full effect of the sidebars, whereas the word just seeps into your head as Colbert talks. Still, there are a number of funny bits, and I did chuckle aloud in places. If you like the show, it’s probably worthwhile at least borrowing the book from someone.
