Book Reviews of Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way

Book Review: I think some of you are nuts...
Summary: 5 Stars

First, let me get this off my chest- I haven't read IF CHINS COULD KILL. Sue me, I just never got around to it.

I picked this book up on vacation last week and proceeded to laugh myself silly. In fact, I haven't laughed out loud reading a book so much since I last perused a P.G. Wodehouse paperback. Before that it was back in the eighties when I discovered Douglas Adams.

Some of the enlightened folks that have written reviews say this book isn't funny. I say thee, NAY! This book is not only funny, it's "shoot milk from your nose" funny. The type of thing to make one incontinent on a hot day. Just the idea of Bruce and Richard Gere destroying, first Richard's apartment then Mike Nichols office is hilarious.

Imagine Bruce (all 6' 1" of him) impersonating Bob Evans (all 5' 2" of him... Okay, maybe he's taller- I don't know). The idea is great. That he actually fools Evans old chum, Jack Nicholson, is extra funny.

And a shakycam in a Mike Nichols film. Pshaw!

My guess is that the folks that didn't find it hilarious don't know who some of these people are. There are lots of types of movie geeks, and not all of them know who Nichols, Evans, Tyrone Power and Zuckor are/were. That's okay, there isn't going to be a test. One of the things I loved about this book is that Bruce proves that he knows Hollywood- the history and the business. He may not have high regard for them but he doesn't need to plead ignorance.

The graphics are ultra groovy too. Lots of great Hollywood gags.

Now that I've finished MAKE LOVE, I'll check out his CHINS. If it really is even funnier than this book I know I'll be satisfied. As far as this book goes, it's aces!

Gimme some sugar, baby.

Summary of Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way

"This approach generates some of the most witty showbiz lunacy since This Is Spinal Tap."
---Sacramento News & Review
 
What you're reading right now is known as the "flap copy." This is where the 72,444 words of my latest book are cooked down to fit this space.  But how does one do that? Do you reveal pivotal plot points like the one at the end of the book where the little girl on crutches points an accusing finger and shouts, "The killer is Mr. Potter"?
I have too much respect for you as an attention-deficient consumer to attempt such an obvious ruse. But let's not play games here. You picked up the book already, so you either:
A.  Know who I am
B.   Liked the cool smoking jacket I'm wearing on the cover
C.   Have just discovered that the bookstore restroom is out of toilet paper 
Is it a sequel to my autobiography If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor?  Sadly, no, which made it much harder to write. According to my publisher, I haven't "done" enough since 2001 to warrant another memoir.
Is it an "autobiographical novel"? Yes. I'm the lead character in the story, and I'm a real person, and everything in the book actually happened, except for the stuff that didn't.
The action revolves around my preparations for a pivotal role in the A-list relationship film Let's Make Love!  But my Homeric attempt to break through the glass ceiling of B-grade genre fare is hampered by a vengeful studio executive and a production that becomes infected by something called the "B movie virus," symptoms of which include excessive use of cheesy special effects, slapstick, and projectile vomiting.
From a violent fistfight with a Buddhist to a life-altering stint in federal prison, this novel has it all. And if the 72,444 words are too time-consuming, there are lots and lots of cool graphics.
Regards,
Bruce "Don't Call Me Ash" Campbell
 
Praise for Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way
 
"It's a great, goofy what-if."
---Entertainment Weekly
 
"Ultimately, Make Love is a Bruce Campbell novel, starring Bruce Campbell, written for Bruce Campbell fans for whom Bruce Campbell can do no wrong. They'll no doubt find Campbell's latest endeavor nothing short of---to quote one of his most famous characters---groovy."
---The Onion
 
"One of the most delightfully deranged experiences you'll have reading this year.  Hail to the king, baby."
---Rue Morgue
