Depressingly hilarious: Not just the snark knight the snark king/queen
this guy isn’t my favorite youtuber but he does bring that quick wit and snarkiness like no other that I enjoy so much and find so entertaining that I actually bought this book with my own pocket money instead of a credit somewhere else because I knew it would be worth it. I found it incredibly funny the 1st time I read it and enjoyed it as a book, second time…..I will get into that later.Even if he did hire a ghostwriter, like I’m assuming most of these youtubers do the book is worded in such his signature style you know he was the pretty much the one telling these stories and he can make even most sad things incredibly hilarious and laugh out loud funny. It was so good I almost finished the whole book during lunch break.With a book I really like after I read it once, I try and read it twice (sometimes more than that) but the second time I read it, I realized oh shhh,, these are actually true stories and they were so depressing. I almost want to believe that he made them up, because a lot of people suck sometimes but here they are brutal. Unfortunately everything (except maybe one ch) had such a ring of truth to it that made me be like, I don’t know how he gets up in the morning because if that stuff happened to me I would probably curl into the fetal position or never leave my place again.. This book could be titled I hate people and hear is why, and it would be just as accurate. When you're too “bottom of the people chain” people like to step on you or take advantage (I can empathize with some of the remarks about looks esp when I was a teenager and something someone could say about my appearance/whatever could bring you totally down..but never to that extent) but I feel like the people he was around didn’t just step, they stomped and trampled all over him, talk about kicking a guy when he’s down. And it’s not like it really got any better when he got too high up, people just tried to knock him down so IDK, hopefully he has people in his life that aren’t total d*ckheads. .I can pretty much compare him to the eminem of comedy (except on a much smaller scale as I consider him talented, but not the most talented comedian) where he pretty much uses his past for entertainment and can make it so...Idk the word to describe it….But there’s this OTT where people with not that many brain cells will take seriously, that I just find hilarious as well.What I disliked about the book:I read books for entertainment and to get away from reality and this was a bit too real for me, I was like I need my happy ending and rainbows and puppies and unicorns. Life is hard, and this book reminds me too much of real life except all the bad stuff x 10.I don’t think he lost one of his jobs because of youtube, he lost it due to poor decision making. But I do agree with him on that people shouldn’t be guilty by association.The subtitle of it: I hate essays, I’m glad I’m done with school, I don’t want to read about anything with that word in it.What I loved about it:As long as I consider this book pure fiction it’s an awesome, hilarious read.The fact that he included his fans in it with their artistry, I found that really cute.Would I read another book by him? Yes, as long as I consider it pure fiction. The book reminds me of a young hollywood quirky movie so that’s what I’ll think of it as.

There is a reason that this almost has a perfect five star rating on Amazon
There is a reason that this almost has a perfect five star rating on Amazon. It's THAT good.I am soooooooooo not the target demographic for this book. I'm close to forty years old and rarely watch youtube. Before this book I had no real clue who Shane Dawson was. I maybe had seen a few of his videos. My daughter begged me for the book and I'm excited whenever she wants to read. I came and looked at reviews before purchasing it and they are overwhelmingly positive with the exception is some parents. I decided to order and it and read it before she did.I freaking loved it. It literally had me laughing out loud (my strange addiction- which isn't a funny story per se but the visual picture I got of him in a bathroom sink screaming about the devil... well it threatens to send me into hysterics right now)and also crying. (Denny's and Death). I felt like I really learned a lot about him and I LIKED him. No his language isn't clean, yeah sometimes he's a little gross (dude has some intestinal ISSUES) , but he just comes across as genuine. If I tell my little girl that life isn't always gonna be so bad, I probably get my eye roll. Shane tells his funny/tragic stories and she has hope.My daughter is almost 11. As her mother I'm ok with her reading this. There was only one part I thought might be a little inappropriate but on the whole FOR MY CHILD I think is a great book. Of course you might have a different relationship with your child. My daughter is wise beyond her years. We discuss things like gay rights, politics and religion. She never doesn't ask a question she is wondering about. "Mom what's a prostitute? Mom what's masterbate mean? Mom why are people racist? Etc...I'm so glad I ordered this book. Shane Dawson has a new fan in me!This book was a personal purchase and I'm leaving a review so as to help future potential buyers.

refreshingly candid
Believe it, or not, until coming across this book, I had not known the author and his Internet presents. The essays in the book are honest, brutal at times, but refreshing and very readable. You’ll love the book!

Already Read but need physical copy
This book was one of the first audiobooks I got so of course I got it to add to my physical bookshelf and be able to re read the parts that really interested me

Muy personal
En este libro, la sensación de YouTube, Shane Dawson nos muestra que es más que su persona en-línea (denominada "Myselfie").En estos ensayos el autor nos comparte sus anécdotas más divertidas y más sentimentales... desde crecer siendo un niño con sobrepeso a las historias personales de su abuela, nos hace reírnos desde el inicio y a momentos llorar.Es importante remarcar que Shane nos abre su lado más humano en estas páginas y entre más lees del libro más "conocido" te parece el autor. Es un libro para crear empatía y reconocer que al final, todos los humanos somos iguales.
