ZOMBIE SPACESHIP WASTELAND (Patton Oswalt) - March 20/11

This incredibly uneven work from my favorite comedian did come off as a disappointment, as Oswalt has peppered the book with a number of pretentious and all-too-surreal chapters that really just did nothing for me (ie the greeting cards). However, Oswalt has also include several admittedly engrossing stretches - with the highlight his ill-fated stint at a comedy club in Surrey. The autobiographical stuff was as entertaining and funny as I might've hoped; I just wish he had jettisoned some of the more overtly weird stuff. **1/2 out of ****
