Critics Review

“If this blurb has the power to make you do one thing today, may I politely suggest that you get on the stick and read What I Think Happened?” –Samantha Bee

“The wit and charm that made Evany Rosen a favorite in the comedy world has carried over to the literary scene with this delightful new collection of essays. It will make you consider history in a whole new way.” –Kliph Nesteroff

“Evany Rosen’s book is wildly disrespectful to me and the history of my great country (America, duh doy). I was reading this book with my flag and it made my flag cry. To paraphrase the great (American) Woody Guthrie: ‘This book makes flags cry.’” –Paul F. Tompkins

“Don’t get Rosen started on Napoleon. As the comedian readily admits, she will find the most ingenious ways to turn any conversation to the subject of the fascinating little emperor. And it’s not only Napoleon, but also much of Western history that Rosen takes on with a devil-may-care jauntiness in this wickedly funny romp.” –Booklist
