Book Reviews of Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way
Book Review: Bruce all the way...
Summary: 5 Stars
The story line is great. For the first portion of the book you wouldn't know it was fiction without a label, but it quickly spirals into the absurd making for tons of laughs in a fantastic story that could have happened in a parallel universe. Bruce's 'research' for his A movie role lands him in all kinds of situations including a reoccurring 'bump in' with the secretary of state. His portrayal of a relationship with Richard Gere is hysterical. Especially when Richard asks Bruce for advice on picking up women. Another highlight is Bruce's dinner with Liz Taylor where he interviews her about her many loves.
I received the audio book version of this from my wish list on Amazon, unfortunately it doesn't seem to be available anymore. The audio version was amazing! I felt like I was in the scenes with the characters. It was created using different voices for each character and tons of sound effects, plus it was read by the author. I think it's the best audio book I have.
Book Review: Truly funny
Summary: 5 Stars
A mate of mine lend me "Make Love" as an audiobook and said I had to hear it. And so I did.
It is fantastic. The storyline is quite simple and the writing style is, fast, witty, and self depracating. It's not prize winning grand litterature, but my, it is entertaining. I've been listening to it when walking, and have therefore many a time been starred at because I've been laughing out loud in the street (for no apparant reason to the casual observer).
I hadn't read any reviews of "Make Love", so I didn't have any expectations before getting ahold of it. I knew of Bruce Campbell before, I've seen the "Evil Dead" trilogy and the "Spiderman" movies, so I guess I thought it'd be amuzing. But it is funny. Thigh slapping almost at times.
I think it'd be 'helpful' to be aquainted with Bruce Campbell before reading this book, but not strictly necessary. It's simply just good fun.
Highest possible recommendation.
Book Review: Great Book, Terrible Title
Summary: 5 Stars
Despite the title, this is a novel, not a how-to book. It purports to be the autobiographical adventures of Bruce Campbell, famous as a B-movie star. He is offered a major role in an A-list picture directed by Mike Nichols and starring Richard Gere and Renee Zellwegger. As things start falling to pieces on the set, he finds himself fighting not only for the role but for his professional reputation.
This book gave me some good laughs and a sort of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas vibe, as if that book had been written by someone of a less excitable disposition than Hunter Thompson. Definitely not your run of the mill celebrity novel!
Book Review: as delightful as Bruce Campbell
Summary: 5 Stars
Bruce Campbell--one of the hottest and funniest (but, I repeat myself) men on the planet--finally gets a starring role in an A movie (a romantic comedy). Bruce, in an attempt to do a good job as Foyl the doorman, researches every possible aspect of romance (from pick ups to divorce) and get into all sorts of witty Bruce Campbell-ventures. Slowly, things begin to go south as the film begins to slowly resemble a film where Bruce should feel at home. The book proves what we've all known for years, Bruce Campbell is god and should be a film legend. I mean, is a film legend. The book is just hilarious Bruce-Campbell-tastic! Grade: ABook Review: Side-splitting, laugh-out-loud fun
Summary: 5 Stars
I won't write an indepth review or give a book synopsis since other reviewers have done such a good job those areas. However, I will state my biased opinion: This is the funniest book I've ever read. If you don't buy a copy, you'll miss out on a lot of laugh-out-loud fun, intelligence and insight.
Buy a copy, sit back and prepare to be entertained. You won't regret it!
