Let me off at the top! English 1A

Let me off at the top is a memoir about the life of Ron Burgundy. Without even openning the book I could tell it was probably going to be funny, one reason in being it is a memoir by Ron Burgundy, another reason is that ron says "I wrote on hell of a book!" Also on the back of the book, it says "My name is Ron Burgundy and what you have in your hands is a very big deal. It's my life. It's my words. It's my gift to you. On the inside of the book it is filled with pictures of "Lucretia. My finest broadsword" "Sir Humphrey. The greatest gamecock that ever enterdd a cockpit" "My great friend who I never shut up about, Lance Bullwright." "Ancient dinosaurs like the tyrannosarus rex terrorize the first mexican peoples." and more!

I only got to finish the first chapter, but what I've read so far is just Ron Burgundy talking about why he is writing a book, and the struggles of writing a book. The hard cover book also comes with a poster of Ron Burgundy's famous mustache. At one point in the first chapter Ron Burgundy shares a conversation he had with himself to help him think about what he's like. One thing that makes this book funnier than most books is that it is written from the perspective of ron Burgundy, not Will Farrell.
