So many emotions...,
By Iread Abit (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: My Boring Ass Life: The Uncomfortably Candid Diary of Kevin Smith (Paperback)
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.

Voyeurism for the View Askew fan ...,
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.

Mixed bag,
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. 17 of 22 people found the following review helpful

Pages of Blog Posts,

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. Tim from MYMac.com |
