I finished up
yesterday and it was a great read. I'm not going to review it anymore here, as it already has a well-written review by
Jennifer Ivey
on her website http://www.jenniferivey.com/. She most certainly does the book justice. I also finished reading
I really enjoyed the beginning of the book, as Kevin Smith is a favorite person of mine and it was pretty cool to get a glimpse into his everyday life. It did get quite monotonous, however, as it turns out that his life is usually just as "boring" as most of ours. Sure, he hangs out with Ben Affleck every once in awhile, but he's usually just going to get take-out Quizno's and playing rummy with his wife and daughter. If you don't really care about the day-to-day happenings of the Smith family, you should still try to find a way to read the section "Me and My Shadow" where he details his struggles in trying to help Jason Mewes kick heroin. It's a great read for anyone who has ever tried to help a friend or love one kick an addiction and really exemplifies the fact that you can never help someone who does not want to help himself. Plus, it ends happily, as Mewes is, to the best of my knowledge, still heroin-free today.
