I was looking forward to this book but it didn’t live up to my expectations. After seeing so many good reviews I was expecting a genuinely funny and quirky book full of all the exciting things that Bruce has gotten up to throughout his career. However, it trundles along at a slow pace from one flat anecdote to another, and I found it a struggle to stay interested. I read it through to the end but it wasn’t very rewarding and I would much rather spend my time watching one of Bruce’s films. If you are a die-hard fan then give it a go, but if you enjoy reading books then this probably isn’t for you.

I knew I was going to like this book, but I had no idea how much I was going to love it. I enjoyed this book thoroughly for so many reasons, the biggest one being that Bruce Campbell is just so damn cool. After reading this, he became my personal hero. Even if you haven’t seen any of his movies or tv shows, you’ll still probably enjoy the book. The stories of him growing up with his brothers and setting off with his friends to make The Evil Dead are everything from funny to inspiring. He’s liberally sprinkled pictures with hilarious captions throughout the book and I found myself stopping co-workers and friends and making them look at them too. Wonderful book. Highly recommended.
