I am an avid fan of Stephen Colbert, but I have to say I have the problem with this book.
The actual content was great. It is the same kind of stuff humor and attitude he gives in his show, with diagrams, and really funny liner notes. The problem is that when I read it, I didn't have Colbert's voice in my head delivering the lines like he does on his show, I had my voice in my head reading how I read. I had to really concentrate to hear it the way he would say it, etc, which took some of the fun from it. I don't often read comedy books, so that might be another problem of mine.
If you can imagine him reading the book to you it's great, and even if you can't it's still entertaining. If you're a fan it's definitely worth a read.
