I picked up this book interested in learning more about Kevin Smith and his movies, and hoping to be inspired while starting up my own business. While this book did not quite lend me the inspiration I was hoping for, it was very funny and gave interesting insights into the making of his movies. I must confess that I am not Kevin Smith's biggest fan, before reading his book I had not even seen all of his movies, let alone listened to his podcasts. I loved Clerks, Red State, and Zack and Miri(although, I guess me and my group of friends are the only ones who do!?) Other than that I really didn't know much about Kevin Smith. Not knowing a lot made this book very entertaining! There were no parts that dragged on because I had already heard that part of Kevin Smith's story before. Everything I read was new and exciting! Unless you are easily offended by crude humor I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in the movie business or for anyone who is (even somewhat) a fan of Kevin Smith.

On a side note and having little to do with this review:
Not knowing about anything in the book I, ironically enough, read the majority of it on a Southwest flight. By the time I got to the "to fat to fly" chapter, the flight attendant was handing me my drink while I awkwardly tried to hide the cover of my book, and I understood why a couple of flight attendants gave me looks while I was boarding. Luckily they didn't kick me off!
