Patton Oswalt, a stand-up comedian most known as the voice of Remy in Ratatouille, or as Doug Heffernan in King of Queens, writes about the childhood and experiences of a kid born between generations.
Using stories of his own life and retrospective thoughts, Oswalt talks about living as a kid that experienced life without the internet and adulthood relying on it.
Oswalt uses his sharp wit in comedy with his easing tone in his writing to combine a novel of essays that reference thousands of cultural icons and funny childhood memories.
This book is especially interesting not only because of the humor and sincerity, but also because of the interesting mix of memoir/essay/standup monologues to create a book that makes its own form.
Patton mixes sincerity with hilarity and balances them both equally to not distract you from either.
