Product Description

Review

“Kevin Smith’s no-holds-barred diary is like his best films: raw, openhearted, and mordantly funny.” - Entertainment Weekly
“Kevin Smith is beloved for his vulgar cockeyed yet sweetly human dissections of life through the eyes of the young and disaffected.” - Los Angeles Times
"Profanely funny" - Hollywood Reporter

Product Description

NOW UPDATED WITH THE ‘INS AND OUTS’ OF MAKING ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO, AND MUCH, MUCH MORE!

Anything but boring, Kevin Smith shares his x-rated thoughts in his diary, telling all in his usual candid, heartfelt and irreverent way!

Kevin Smith pulls no punches in this hard-hitting, in-your-face exposé of, er, his rather dull and uneventful life… well, not always dull. In between watching his TiVo, he manages to make and release Clerks II, relate the story of his partner-in-crime Jason Mewes’ heroin addiction... and get caught stealing donuts from Burt Reynolds.

Thrown in are his views on the perils of strip clubs, the drawback of threesomes, the pain of anal fissures, his love-affair with Star Wars and so much more! Adults Only!

5.0 out of 5 stars So many emotions..., Jun 8 2008
For anyone who likes anything Kevin Smith has ever done, this book is for you. At times it gets a little bit repetitive.. (woke up, went to the bathroom, ate, watched tv, went to bed)... but even while explaining these normally boring events, he made me laugh. There is much more to it than just that though. He did end up having some very interesting stories to tell that at time made me laugh so hard I cried.

There is about 125 pages dedicated just to telling the story of Jason Mewes' introduction to drugs, and his struggle with addiction. This is both a terrifying story about drugs, and a heart-warming story about friendship. and again, he made me cry. This section of the book alone is enough to justify whatever you spend on it.

Kevin Smith fans, purchase this book with confidence that you'll enjoy it.
Non Kevin Smith fans, it's still worth reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Voyeurism for the View Askew fan ..., Jan 14 2008
By Chris M. Wilson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: My Boring Ass Life: The Uncomfortably Candid Diary of Kevin Smith (Paperback)
This book is a great read. I'll assume that if you're interested in this book in the first place, that you are already a Kevin Smith / View Askew fan. Clearly, that's who this book is really for. And if you are that kind of person, the kind of person who owns all the DVD's, has watched all the commentaries, reads the boards, listens to smodcast, and in some crazy way thinks of these people as some bizarre one-way extension of your own circle of friends, then you will love this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mixed bag, Jan 16 2009
By Neurofox "Neurofox" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: My Boring Ass Life: The Uncomfortably Candid Diary of Kevin Smith (Paperback)
Really. The first half is - as the title promised - really boring. But it sets the stage for the second half, which is a real page turner. I could not put the book down until I was done once I hit the second half.
Never had that experience with a book before. Very strange.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pages of Blog Posts, Nov 7 2007
By Tim E Robertson "Publisher MyMac" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: My Boring Ass Life: The Uncomfortably Candid Diary of Kevin Smith (Paperback)
Okay, I knew what this was when I paid for it. No biggie. It is just over a years worth of blog posts. But it was still interesting to read. However, at one point, maybe a quarter of the way through, I stopped and asked myself "why the heck am i reading this mundane stuff? An online diary? It's not like he died or something. Or that he will help me become the next great director or writer." Then I went back to reading.

I am not finished yet. It is my official "Crap, I didn't bring anything with me into the bathroom to read" book, meaning it lives in the bathroom for just those moments. I can usually crank out a page or two that way. More, if I had a Chinese food earlier that day.

Still, if you are a Smith fan, you may dig it. I am, it's kinda cool. I think I may have read some of it online, as I knew what would happen in some passages. So check it out, you will probably dig it, too.
