Lizz Free or Die

Lizz Free or Die (2012) by Lizz Winstead. Winstead is not famous, but maybe she should be. She helped start The Daily Show on Comedy Central, then was in at the beginning of Air America Radio, the attempted liberal answer to Rush Limbaugh and his ilk, which had a brief life before going bust. She still appears on MSNBC, CNN and Comedy Central. Her book is a collection of essays which approaches, but does not quite reach, memoir territory. She is whip smart and extremely funny -- although I'm not sure I'd want to know her, because she has a Lizzilla personality which emerges when she is irritated. To put any doubt to rest, I enjoyed this book immensely, and would recommend it to any liberal person who enjoys humor. It's really good. Grade: A-
