The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo by Amy Schumer




It seemed to me like Amy Schumer suddenly burst onto the comedy scene a few years ago. To my surprise, she had been working on her craft from a young age.

Her memoir, if you could call it that at her age (she’s thirty five years old) has shed light on her family life and her youth.  It documents her obsession with comedy and her rise on the comedy scene. She is proof that nothing happens without hard work.

She’s frank and open and discusses her sexuality, women in her industry, an abusive relationship and most importantly how young women view themselves.

She is vociferous, emotional and passionate on gun control.
This book is a triumph, in that she is funny, sensitive and forthright on issues and people important to her. It is a quick read into the psyche of Amy Schumer.
