Summary
One of AudioFile Magazine's Best Audiobooks of 2016.
Amy Schumer narrates her own raucously funny memoir, a personal collection of stories about the American comedian before her meteoric rise to fame. Unflinchingly honest and tongue-in-cheek, this is a moving portrait with emotional resonance and genuine laugh-out-loud moments.
'2016 Best Audiobooks' selection, AudioFile Magazine.
The highly anticipated first audiobook from award-winning comedian, writer, producer and actress, Amy Schumer.
In The Girl With the Lower Back Tattoo, Amy shares stories about her family, her relationships, her career, good - and bad - sex, recounting the experiences that have shaped who she is today: from the riches to rags story of her childhood to her teenage quest for popularity (and boys) to becoming one of the most sought-after comedians on the planet and an outspoken advocate for women's rights.
Whether she's experiencing lust at first sight in the queue at the airport, discovering her boot camp instructor's secret bad habit, or candidly discussing her father's multiple sclerosis, Amy Schumer proves to be a fearless, original, and always entertaining storyteller. Her audiobook will move you, make you laugh, catch you completely off guard, and answer this burning question: is it okay for a 35 year-old woman to still sleep with her childhood teddy bears?
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Not Funny and WAAAAAY too serious
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
If this had been a 4 or 5 star book.
Has The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo put you off other books in this genre?
No i've read some great books from this genre. Amy Peohlers Yes Please, and Tina Fey's Bossy Pants being two of the best. This one was just bad, boring, rambling, hypocritical, serious and sad.
Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Amy Schumer?
She was as good as anyone for this book I suppose, though I found her serious and on the verge of tears moments especially grating.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disappointment that the book didn't really meet expectations. Mild anger at some of the hypocritical nonsense spouted about aspects of sexual relationships between men and women. Uncomfortable with some of the stories. Sad far far too often for the autobiography of a comic.
Any additional comments?
Just bad - if you're looking for laughs, avoid.

Very disappointing
Would you try another book written by Amy Schumer or narrated by Amy Schumer?
No
Has The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo put you off other books in this genre?
No
What aspect of Amy Schumer’s performance might you have changed?
The book needs changing rather than her performance which was ok
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disappointment. I was a huge fan of Trainwreck and persuaded lots of friends to see it, but this must be the least funny book by a comic I've read. Maybe Amy's intention was not to be funny but if so the book's marlketing is at fault as is the jokey title - a pun on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Amy makes some worthwhile points about the poor messages given to young girls by the media, about sexism on the standup circuit (and business generally) and about gun control. However overall the book is just dull and full of pointless lists - for example in a list of Things I Hate Amy lists the Big Bang Theory (the TV show not the theory but apparently can't be bothered to give us a reason for the hatred.

At first i thought it was funny
At first, I thought this is one funny book with silly stories; then soon became to dislike it and found it painful listening to.
Amy reads the whole book in a monotone voice and I soon became to realise that nothing is her fault, throughout the book, everything that has happened is someone else's fault and she reveals her families secrets and stories of personal times.
For me, I wouldn't recommend, Kevin Harts book however is hilarious.

End already
had hoped this would actually be funny and interesting.. in the end I just got so tired of it, out of sheer pig headedness, I had to persevere to make it to the end of the book.. trite drivel..

OK but not much really happens or happened.
i love Amy's comedy, raw, biting and chellenging. my presumption was that there must be a real backstory that moulded this talented woman. The book is OK, nothing very exciting or shocking, honest but uneventful. slightly lacking in style but as a novice author that is forgivable. its an easy listen but its bland rather than bold.

love love love
Embarrassing ly, I'd never seen Any Schumer on TV or seen Train wreck before I read this book. I liked the sound of the reviews and I wasn't disappointed. It had me laughing out loud and touches on subjects I didn't expect: gun crime, domestic abuse and MS. It was really insightful, exploring issues of gender equality in Hollywood, comedy and film making.

If you love Amy you need to get her book!
I laughed and teared up. She is a fab narrator and she is beautifully frank. Very well done
