Nothing's Sacred Overview
You've seen him on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart offering up his trademark angry observational humor on everything from politics to pop culture. You've seen his energetic stand-up performances on HBO, Comedy Central, and in venues across the globe. Now Lewis Black's volcanic eruptions can be found in Nothing's Sacred, a collection of rants against stupidity and authority, which oftentimes go hand in hand.
With subversive wit and intellectual honesty, Lewis examines the events of his life that shaped his antiauthoritarian point of view and developed his comedic perspective. Growing up in 1950s suburbia when father knew best and there was a sitcom to prove it, he began to regard authority with a jaundiced eye at an early age. And as that sentiment grew stronger with each passing year, so did his ability to hone in on the absurd.
True to form, he puts common sense above ideology and distills hilarious, biting commentary on all things politically and culturally relevant.

This format is rather iffy..... - Kay Lyn Harris - Wyoming wilds
I purchased "Nothing's Sacred" after listening to and enjoying "Me of Little Faith". I'm not to sure about this one: still good material, most of which I had already heard on "Black on Broadway", "Red, White & Screwed" and "End of the Universe". It also lacks his characteristic 'ranting' mode: it comes across that the listener is being read to, as opposed to Mr Black becoming animated onstage and interacting with the audience. Just seems to be missing something....I'd probably pick up the DVDs for his stage shows first, rather than buying this audiobook.

The item was as advertised, arrived in very good condition, and arrived in less time than expected.
dull - M. Wilson - Acton, MA
I bought this thinking it would be a funny take on current events, like his comedy. It's his life story, and it's really not that funny.
