review 1: I'm a rabid Kevin Smith fan so I did enjoy parts of this book, but it was just too rambling and stream of consciousness for me. It is a script of podcasts, and if you use that as your standard maybe you aren't as harsh as I am. I've just seen so much gold from the man I've come to expect it (please don't tell me about Cop Out, I'm going to go ahead and not watch it and assume it's filled with smack-talking ninjas who write comic books by day. I'm better off in my denial.)
review 2: This book was very very funny. I found myself dying of laughter to the point where I had to stop reading until I caught my breath again several times. It was like sitting at the bar hanging out with Kevin and Scott (and friends) hearing all their wild stories and the truly strange an... mored bizarre shit that they make up. While not everything made me laugh so much did. My favourite bits were definitely about Hermione and Helen Keller, but there were so many amusing things. There was even a sprockets joke! I've not heard anyone make a sprockets joke in YEARS (probably since my friend Micheal moved to New York). I have to say I do think Kevin Smith really needs to get over his weight issues, even in a book as silly as this one he makes so many references to how fat he is (which he also did for the 3 minutes I saw him in person when I had it signed). I just want to shake him and say Dude you're weight really does NOT matter! Look at all you've done, you're funny and silly and clever and if you weren't married women would be throwing themselves at you. I suppose though that it is telling that even guys in Hollywood feel the pressure to be normal. But I really loved this book. I'm definitely going to start listening to the podcasts it was based on and track down the other Kevin Smith books to read. While I don't agree with him on everything I still love him to bits. less
