I liked the book, but the title is misleading. This is not Marlo Thomas' story. There are parts which ARE about her life, but then she interviews several popular comedians, and we learn about THEIR lives. All very interesting and informative, but I feel this was actually 2 books, and should have been written as such. I will say, and everyone in our book club agreed, that this was a very optimistic read... a feel-good book in a sea of some very depressing literature... wonderful respite from the popular angst currently on the best seller list.

Thought it was going to be about her growing up in her family, which it is, to a small extent. But mostly it a history of comedy and small bios of comedians. Not at all what I expected and I was disappointed.
Nothing for a book club to really discuss.

I enjoyed hearing nice things about so many people. The jokes she included were nice to read.
