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.
