I Am the New Black by Tracy Morgan - review

Tracy Morgan's new memoir, I Am the New Black, is a must-read for fans.  Morgan is best known for his over the top characters, and his audiobook definitely reflects that.  However, much of his life has been extremely difficult, with many lost loved ones, and forays into drugs and alcoholism.  He manages to insert humour into even the darkest situations, though, and when he talks about the time his father told him exactly when, where, and how Tracy was conceived, you squirm along with him.

Morgan's narration is fantastic, although it is sometimes difficult not to picture his 30 Rock character while listening.  This is one case where listening to the audiobook is definitely preferable to reading the paper version.
