“Very funny! I'd love to hang out with Kevin Smith! He has a very conversational style that I really appreciated! ”

“I agree with other reviews in that this book will probably only appeal to people who already like Kevin Smith. It's a little haphazard for those who don't know his movies. However, if you like his work, you'll most likely enjoy the essays here. I did! It has me thinking about going to see him speak live, so it must've done something right! The essays can feel a bit dated - references to a young Britney Spears or to Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's romance (and there are essays that are just *admittedly* love letters about his man-crush on Affleck). Mostly I enjoyed getting to read about Kevin Smith himself - some of the funniest essays are about his wife's self-portrait, his history with comic books and Jersey, or his issues with lap dances. I think my personal favorite was his depiction of the seedy underworld of San Diego Comic Con.”

“This book by Kevin Smith, makes an interesting reading, especailly if you are conversant with the writing style of Smith himself. I got the book from a friend and read it. The book is full of humour, which is characteristic of Smith, as a writer. If you are Smith's fan, you will understand what I am saying! Give it a shot by laying your hands on this book and reading it! I wish you a happy reading!”

I've been a Kevin Smith fan since Clerks and have watched all of his movies and some of his appearances that made it to video.

All I can say is that this man is genuinely funny. Some of his anecdotes, quips, one-liners are so outrageous and unbelievable that you can't help but say to yourself, " this can't be true yet it has to be".
He writes candidly about his life, his wife, Ben Affleck, Tom Cruise, and (personally my favourite part of the book) Greasy Reese Witherspoon. As a Smith fan, I feel that this book is worth every cent (especially since I didn't have to spend money on it) and every minute spent reading it.
For non-fans, you'll either finish reading the book and go out and buy all of his movies or close the book and wonder why the heck you just spent money on this obscenity-laced piece of crap. Either way, this book will give you an insight to the person who brought us Jay and Silent Bob...and that is reason enough for me to watch all of his movies all over again.”
