Silent Bob is back…

 

Kevin Smith, the award-winning screenwriter and director of Clerks, Chasing Amy and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back shares his X-rated thoughts in this, his diary, telling all in his usual candid, heartfelt and irreverent way!

 

Lewd, crude and hilariously rude, Smith pulls no punches in this in-your-face expose of his far from boring-ass life. OK, so he does spend long periods lying in bed watching his TiVo, but he also manages to:

 

Make and release Clerks II

 

Tell the story of ‘Me and My Shadow’: the acclaimed account of his partner-in-crime Jason Mewe’s drug addiction

 

Serve time (on a jury)

 

Score acting gigs opposite Jennifer Garner and his idol Bruce Willis

 

Get caught stealing donuts from Burt Reynolds

 

Also revealed are his views on the perils of strip clubs, the drawback of threesomes, the pain of anal fissures, his unnatural love of Star Wars… and so much more!

I feel the title of his book is misleading, he isn’t boring, he’s like you and me an everyday bloke with a lovely wife and daughter and a huge extended family through his message board.

 

He has taken the diary of his life and put it to print, which he admits to being a very candid diary and I agree with the way he tells us about his life, but you know it’s just the same stuff we do, day in day out.

 

The thing is this guy is living his dream, something only a minority of people get to do.

 

He really wears his heart on his sleeve, if you want to know what makes Kevin Smith tick, then this a must read for you.

 

I’ve never met the guy, but I love him as he puts it “in a hetero kind of way”. As you turn the pages of this book you think you’ve known him all your life.

 

This guy has no ego to speak of, if he does he keeps it so well hidden and he is so close to his fans.

 

So you want to know why he has so many fans? Read this book to find out why.
