For those who enjoy the Anchorman movies, this book will give you a few laughs. Ron Burgundy is his usual outrageous self basically offending everyone he can, without truly meaning to. His History of Mexico and all of the famous people he's encountered, like searching for jackalopes with RFK and Peter Lawford, are downright ridiculous. Some other areas of the book felt a little long and tedious, even for me an avid fan. However I think Ron's voice comes through and the writings in here are not a far cry from the original portrayal by Will Ferell. 
 However, if you're NOT a fan of Anchorman or haven't seen the movies before, this book will be completely lost on you and you won't enjoy it. What this book won't be able to do is grab new fans for the movies. The humor is just unapproachable for those without context and if you hate the character, this book won't change that for you. 
 This book was written for fans who always need a little bit more of Ron Burgundy and I think if you look at it that way, the book does what it is supposed to.
