I can't remember the last time I read a book that started off so well and ended up annoying me so much that I didn't bother to finish it! Kevin Smith's disarmingly candid opinions and anecdotes are mostly hilarious here, right up until the toe-curlingly sycophantic Ben Affleck chapter. Smith then goes on to give Tom Cruise the same boot-licking treatment a few chapters later! It's probably worth bearing in mind that as a collection of previously published articles and interviews "Silent Bob Speaks" was inevitably going to be a bit uneven, though.
Don't get me wrong - I love his films, and this a very funny book in places. But if you want my advice, don't buy it - borrow it
