YEARBOOK

Skillfully constructed, this audiobook gives comedian and writer Seth Rogen an opportunity to display his acting chops through his narration. He includes stories of his early stand-up appearances as a teenager, which are hilarious. The added cast of mostly unidentified narrators, who include actors/comedians Jay Pharoah and Dan Aykroyd, along with musician Billy Idol, adds zest to the production and gives listeners a fully rounded portrait of this wild man as a teen and young man. His stories may not appeal to all listeners because of his bleep-worthy language and tales of drug use. Nonetheless, he gives every listener a laugh. Many will identify with the situations he describes and empathize. His life is like a good reality TV show, and hysterical to boot. E.E.S. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2021]
