“Listened to on audio, read by the author. The guy’s done enough podcasting that it works pretty well.
If you’re not really familiar with Kevin Smith, this is an awesome point of entry.
Do me a favor, if I ever write a book someday, don’t refer to it as a Point of Entry. Sorry, Mr. Smith.
But really, he goes through his whole career here, the interesting parts, the weird parts, and some of the funniest.
One of my favorites, the oft-told tale where Kevin and friends decided to protest the churchy protesters of his movie by making asinine protest signs, including one of the funniest ever written onto a placard: “Cock is Yummy”
If you’ve been following Kevin Smith and listening to him for some time, you’ve probably heard most of what’s in here. If not, you’ll dig it.
Especially effective to this ol’ softy, the afterward, an essay written by his daughter, is also READ by his daughter in the audiobook version. I don’t know what’s going on with me. Some kind of male version of just wanting to be a mommy or something. Whatever chemicals is in my body, they fucked up. But I found the reading really touching.”
