Title: Painfully Funny!
Review: This book is great. Feig is a ballsy guy who powered through adolescence with both guns blazing, confrontung his (really all our) demons, and as we now know, emerged the wiser for all the humiliations he suffered and overcame.My only warning to the unwary is that there's a certain disingenuousness in the telling. I don't believe Feig is relating exactly what he was feeling at the time, but rather is seeing his early years through the lens of tv/movie screenwriter; young feig's take on the situations he was in is just too sophisticated, and his mental riffing that would pass muster in a stand-up comedy club kind of takes you out of the moment. On the other hand, even if they strain credulity as coming from the mind of a 12 or 14 year old, they are really funny.
