I absolutely adored this book. I have watched Shane Dawson on YouTube for about a year now, so I was really interested in reading his book and having an opportunity to learn more about him. I found this book to be quite humorous (which was to be expected). I also think that his writing was actually
The only problem that I had with this book was the fact that it was hard to determine whether or not he was truthful in some of his stories. For example, the dialogue that he presented didn't seem realistic. It was funny to read, but in my honest opinion, people usually aren't that open with the things that they say to others.
Other than that, I didn't have any issues with the book. It was a quick and fun read. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning more about Shane and/or looking for something that is light and funny.

I'd never heard of Shane Dawson before I got this book. I read to my disabled wife every day, mainly humor, and I was out of books to read (having gone through the entire output of Dave Barry, Bill Bryson, Steve Martin, David Sedaris, and George Carlin, to give you an idea of what we laugh at). So

I bought this solely on the basis of amazon's rating. He's younger than our daughter and inhabits a world that we never have and never will. He is demonstrably immature, vulgar, and generally weird. But, the thing is, we started liking the little s**t. He has admirable traits that are really kind of, well, sweet. He also doesn't hold anything back, his documentation of self-embarrassment second to none. We laughed as he laughed at himself. There isn't much in this book that's mean or snide. Well, except for waiting for Lindsay Lohan to die. The book ended too quickly for us. Now I have to look for something else to read to her. Show Less

Within the last two years-ish I've become a fan of Shane.
I haven't gone back and watched his old stuff, or even a music video.
I really like what he's doing now.
This book fast-tracked his first years on youtube for me.
I liked it. It was funny.
