Emmy- and Grammy-nominated comedian, singer, and social commentator Rainbow (Playing with Myself) joyfully narrates his collection of 24 essays, delivering a fresh perspective on the cultural and political climate and a hilarious take on everything from dating to social media to politics. As he gleefully pokes fun at TikTok grandmas and skewers Elon Musk and Donald Trump, Rainbow offers laughter as a much-needed antidote to the challenges of today’s world. His tone can shift from sarcastic to genuinely warm, particularly when recounting stories about his Jewish mother, Gwen, or his glamorous cat, Tippi. Listeners who come for Rainbows outrageous anecdotes about dating apps and Craigslist hookups will end up staying for his unexpectedly touching ongoing conversations with his mother, which add a heartwarming dimension to the narrative. This balance of humor and heart, combined with Rainbow’s ability to address serious issues with a lighthearted touch, makes this audiobook stand out.
VERDICT A recommended purchase, perfect for listeners who appreciate sharp humor and social commentary. Whether looking for a quick laugh or an insightful take on current events, this book provides both in abundance.
