Fun but silly. I had to put this down and come back to it. And either I lost the thread or it ran out of steam right when I stopped. I probably would have liked some slightly more serious Weird Al books better. But this was fun. It told of his earlier days and some stories of the songs. And had me actually listen to some of songs that I had missed. Fluff. But fun fluff. 3.5 of 5.

A coffee table hagiography ("a biography that vaults its subject to elevated status") about the world's most famous paody artist, "Weird Al" Yankovic. Lots of photos, some transcribed song lyrics--including a dense two page spread with all the words to "Albuquerque"--and pretty scant biographical details.

A fun book, a quick read.

A great book--I loved all the pictures and lyric sets (they included "You Don't Love Me Anymore"! My favorite!). Al's lists and tweets and captions were wonderful. I didn't learn too much I didn't know, but it was a fun read nonetheless. Weird Al forever <3
