Overstated: A Coast-to-Coast Roast of the 50 States af Colin Quinn
Not something I would normally buy but Barnes and Noble had it on the 50% off table so I thought it would be funny and anything American History is right up my alley. It was good but not great. There are some interesting factoids in there but it could have been even better if he would've left out the MAGA-friendly references. From early in the book I got the impression Colin Quinn is a Trumper, or at the very least a Trump sympathizer, and that made me enjoy it less by knowing that. A book this small usually doesn't take me an entire week to read and that alone shows my level of excitement for it.… (mere)

I kept reading hoping that I would find the humor. There was some, but not to the extent I expected. Maybe if the title reflected the content, I would have appreciated the book more. Basically, the book is full of one person's (the author's) observations of various racial stereotypes, his drunken and drugged experiences with various races, and his road to becoming a comedian. There is nothing about solving race relations whatsoever.
