I can only take George Carlin in very small doses and I had to stop before finishing this audiobook because it was monotonous ranting. There was never any indication that George approves of anything or that anything made him happy. For instance, he moved from New York to Los Angeles and went on and on about the people and living conditions of the city. I was shouting at him in the car to move back to New York if it was so bad. And don't get him started on grammar and popular phrases! I had to stop listening to this for my blood pressure and safety on the road.
