I think the version I had of this audiobook must have been abridged because it was only four CDs long. Truthfully, I'm glad it was. While it was certainly funny and even had some laugh-out-loud moments, I generally have limited tolerance for humor/biography books. They get repetitive. And even though the audio was abridged, I'm really glad it was read by the author. Since much of it seemed to be train-of-thought type writing, and some of it not even that connected, it was nice to get the proper inflection to make otherwise unwieldy sentences (like this one) come out right.I thoroughly enjoyed this book, but I think I'm in Mindy Kaling's target demographic. If you're not, you'll probably just think it's inane and kind of annoying. True, there's not much in her life story that I can relate to other than being a chubby kid, but her general experiences are totally relatable and understandable.
Laughter is the best medicine.
