A good-enough, and frequently amusing, bio-ramble. ( )

Bruce's earnest and irreverent voice comes through in this amusing memoir that just about brings his story up-to-date. It's all here: life in rural Oregon, making B movies for SciFi channel, making Burn Notice, remaking Evil Dead. Bruce is that guy with dozens of funny stories that will keep you entertained for hours and still want more. ( )

Bruce Campbell talking about how wool socks are most comfortable in Florida heat is delightful. ( )

Bruce Campbell's follow-up to his first autobiographical volume, If Chins Could Kill. He originally conceived of this as less of a memoir and more of a travelogue, and there's still a significant focus on different places he's been, including the quirky area of rural Oregon where he bought a house that was half underground; Bulgaria, where he filmed the twin classics of modern cinema, Alien Apocalypse and The Man with the Screaming Brain; Miami, where he spent seven years making Burn Notice and sweating heavily in the heat; and Iraq, where he and co-star Jeffrey Donovan spent time entertaining US troops during the second Gulf War.

None of it is particularly compelling, or insightful, or surprising, or anything like that, but it's a pleasant, easy read in a way that was exactly what I was in the mood for. Bruce comes across very much the way you'd expect him to: unpretentious and mildly sarcastic, with a fun, if slightly cheesy, sense of humor. And even though I've always been more of a casual viewer of his stuff than a die-hard fan, I find I've come out of this feeling nicely nostalgic about his body of work. I'd forgotten just how much I enjoyed Burn Notice, really. And now I have a very strong desire to dig out my DVD copy of Bubba Ho-Tep and give it another re-watch. (Seriously, that was a genuinely good movie!) ( )

If you like Bruce Campbell and/or stories about making and acting in movies, tv shows, etc., then you will like this book. It is full of fun stories told in the Bruce Campbell way. I found it highly amusing and very entertaining. Now I just have to get Starz so I can watch Ash vs Evil Dead! ( )
