Maybe it's because I've watched the TED speech and she repeated several jokes there.
I watched the TED talk too, and I don't think I'll read her book. I think that humor is a valuable addition to a book, but too much of it gets boring, and it shouln't be the main driving force of a book. Of course I suppose it's just a matter of taste. But her stand-up comedian act didn't convince me.
