( ) Superstud by Paul Feig, is a painful book to read. Much like the series he created, "Freaks and Geeks", there were a lot of thigns that resonated with me. But they won't resonate with a lot of people, so I realize this book isn't for everyone. The story is mainly about the dating life, or lack thereof, of a geek. It's a nonfiction book, so Feig tells the story from his point of view, from his own painful (sometimes literally so) experience. It's really hard to describe the book any more than that, if only for the fact that so much of the content would be not work-safe. I did enjoy it, because a lot of it felt familiar, not only for the fact that he's a geek, but because he grew up in Michigan, where most of the events take place. I even got Lisa nostalgic by asking her about places he mentions. This is a pretty funny book. I liked it slightly better than his earlier book "kick me". I think the cringe factor was lessened because at least he is older in this novel. There aren't too many laugh out loud moments here... i expected more... though the story about his rollerskating years had me laughing pretty hard. this is a quick read - not for those people who are easily offended by frank sexual talk... geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Lost in love and don't know much? Paul Feig knew even less... Like any other red-blooded, straight young man, Paul Feig spent much of his teenage years trying to solve the mystery of women. Unlike most red-blooded, straight teenage boys, however, Paul Feig was sadly at a considerable disadvantage. He was tall and gangly. He had a love for musical theater. And, perhaps the death knell for his burgeoning sex life, Paul was a tap dance student. (And we have the pictures to prove it-see the front cover.) Infused with the same witty and infectiously readable style of his first book, Kick Me, Superstud chronicles the trials and tribulations of Feig's young dating life with all the same excruciating detail as an on-air gastric bypass-and you just won't be able to tear yourself away. Feig's series of shudder-to-think but oddly familiar (come on-we've all been dumped by someone we didn't even like that much) anecdotes include- his first date, at an REO Speedwagon concert with the most endowed girl in school, who leaves him sitting next to a puddle of puke; his first breakup, accomplished by moving across the country; his mortifying date with his secretly bigoted girlfriend; his discovery of a new self-love technique that almost lands him in the hospital; and his less-than-idealistic "first time," which he nevertheless elevates to biblical proportions. In Superstud, Paul Feig tells all in a hilarious but true testament to geekdom, love, and growing up. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
