Book 3 review

Let Me Off At The Top! By Ron Burgundy is a fictional memoir obviously about Ron Burgundy. I recommend this book to anyone who is mature enough to handle the excessive swearing and the multiple genital references. Also anyone who likes the Anchorman movies or just anyone who like to read an easy book and laugh. The book is filled with hilarious chapter titles, one of the chapters is called My Hair and another one is How to Survive a Prison Riot. Also the book has a sub-plot where Ron Burgundy thinks that his neighbor stole his leaf blower, and he is trying to figure out why he won’t give it back.

On the cover of the book Ron Burgundy says “I wrote a hell of a book.” Not even finishing the first chapter Ron has spoken true of this statement. Ron Burgundy is an amazing author, and the best author that doesn’t really exist. How Ron wrote the book is that it sounds like Ron Burgundy is talking to you, also his writing style makes you want to believe that Ron Burgundy is a real person, and not just a fictitious person in a movie. Ron Burgundy has no limits to what he says in his book Let Me Off At The Top!

Lauren Wheeler has another feeling toward this book,” Is this the best book in the whole world? No. Will you enjoy it? Probably. Should you give it a chance? Yes. They’ve done studies- this book works 60% of the time, every time.” She also says, “This memoir is not for someone who is easily offended; Burgundy has insensitivity toward everyone. If you aren't a rich, white man, Burgundy is going to say something offensive and stereotypical about you.” Wheeler’s review can be agreeable to a certain extent, in which Ron Burgundy can be pretty offensive at some parts of the book, but Ron Burgundy doesn’t have an insensitivity toward everyone, just a lot of people. It would be like saying 60% of people like pizza, so everybody likes pizza.

I you asked 100 people what they thought the theme of this books was you would get 100 different responses, but if you would ask Ron Burgundy, his reply would probably go something like, “Take my advice, and you just might make it somewhere in life.” There are too many characters in this book to count, but the characters are used so few times the only real characters would be Ron Burgundy and his neighbor. Everyone else only makes a couple of appearances. Ron Burgundy obviously being the narrator, and being the spotlight of all of his crazy stories, and the neighbor being the main character in the sub-plot of the “stolen” leaf blower.

To anyone who thinks that Susanne Collins was sexist for the portrayal of Katniss in The Hunger Games obviously either hasn’t read this book, and/or wasn’t paying any attention to the book. This book makes Collins’ portrayal of Katniss look like it was nothing. Although Ron makes fun of many different groups of people, the one he makes most fun of is women. For example, whenever he mentions his wife he could just say my beautiful wife Veronica Turner, no he has to say my wife and lover, or my wife and sex partner Veronica Turner. There is obviously a fine line that Ron passes sometimes to express his opinion about some topics, mostly about other people.

Lauren Wheeler claims that Ron Burgundy “Gets a pass because of who he is.” This statement is very agreeable, if anyone else had said any of the things that Ron has said in his story people would call them sexist, psychotic, and even a liar, but because Ron Burgundy is famous for being funny people want to believe that he really DID do these things and he can say what he wants. The only reason that this book has been published is because people know and love Ron Burgundy. Anyone who has seen either of the Anchorman movies, or just knows anything about Ron Burgundy should expect some cruel and crazy things in his memoir. Ron Burgundy is a comedian, so if he attempts to write a comedic book people will automatically think that it is going to be a funny book without even touching it.

Overall Let Me Off At The Top! IS a good book despite the frequent swearing, genital references, and verbal abuse. If anyone thinks that they have what it takes to read the book and not be too offended to throw the book out your window than you should read it. Ron Burgundy is a great actor and some would even say an even better author. If you have ever wondered, what happened to Ron Burgundy that made him so messed up, than your answer is right here.
