God, If You're Not Up There, I'm F*cked

God, If You're Not Up There, I'm F*cked (2011) by Darrell Hammond. I've never thought Hammond was especially funny, on Saturday Night Live or elsewhere, but that didn't detract from my enjoyment of this book. In case you don't know, Hammond is the SNL star who famously portrayed President Bill Clinton for years on the Saturday night show. In this book, Hammond lays it all out -- his abusive mother, his alcoholic father, his own alcohol and drug abuse, his cutting, his mental illness. Somehow he makes it through all the trauma and drama, and his story makes for an interesting book. The chapters are short and punchy, and each chapter is broken up into easily accessible sections. It's an easy read, and illuminating. Grade: B+
