Fun, but Best Left for the Fans,
By
This review is from: Silent Bob Speaks: The Collected Writings of Kevin Smith (Paperback)
In his first book, Smith discusses everything from digital genital manipulation to the casting meetings held during the preproduction process for Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" with his trademark wit and potty humour. While the majority of the anecdotes are laugh-out-loud funny and almost morbidly frank (as the moment the author confesses to once having a fetish for urinating in a cup and looking at it), the unpublished piece really should have stayed unpublished...and Smith's self-deprecation his stature in Hollywood, the comparative size of his penis, and his weight grows thin quickly.Still, I found the book compulsively readable, and shot through all 300+ pages in a single, spellbound sitting. If you're a die-hard Kevin Smith fanboy, you will love this book, and if you're not, stay away unless you like pee-and-fart humour.

If You "Get" Kevin Smith, Than Get the Book,
This review is from: Silent Bob Speaks: The Collected Writings of Kevin Smith (Paperback)
"Silent Bob Speaks" is a book that any Kevin Smith fan will appreciate. Like his movies, you have to "get" Keven Smith to appreciate "Silent Bob Speaks." Smith is the first to know that Silent Bob's humor doesn't speak to everyone, so he doesn't try to change his ways to appease the masses. Smith is happy conveying his special brand of humor uncensored for those who like it the way it comes out. I highly recommend "Silent Bob Speaks" to fans of Smith's movies. I also recommend "A Long Way Down" and "My Fractured Life."

Embarrassingly bad,
By
This review is from: Silent Bob Speaks: The Collected Writings of Kevin Smith (Paperback)
I was really looking forward to this book. I'm disappointed beyond description, however. I really had no idea Kevin Smith could be such a bore. Most of the articles are just plain dull. The shameless name-dropping is not only irritating but also tedious. The worst writing in the book, though, is the interview with Ben Affleck: the dripping admiration and sentimentality are gag-worthy. I'm actually embarrassed for Smith.
