Ilustration Conducive To Books Nerd Do Well

The unique life story of one of Britain's most talented and inventive comedians, star of Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and Star Trek.

Zombies in North London, death cults in the West Country, the engineering deck of the Enterprise: Simon Pegg has been ploughing some bizarre furrows in recent times. Having blasted onto the small screens with his now legendary sitcom Spaced, his rise to the UK's favourite son status has been mercurial, meteoric, megatronnic, but mostly just plain great.

From his childhood (and subsequently adult) obsession with Star Wars, his often passionate friendship with Nick Frost, and his forays into stand-up which began with his regular Monday morning slot in front of his 12-year-old classmates, this is a joyous tale of a homegrown superstar and a loval boy made good.

Critique Out Of Books Nerd Do Well

Ever since I went to see Shaun of the Dead in theaters on my 22nd birthday, I've closely followed the work of both Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright. They're extremely talented individuals who I believe have a lot in common with myself--plus they both have charming British accents. As I've admired their work for almost ten years now, it became a necessity to read Pegg's memoir.Here's the thing: I didn't like it that much.No disrespect to Pegg himself--the dude is living the dream, and he has

I don't know why I keep reading celebrity autobiographies expecting something different.This isn't to say that Simon Pegg's memoir is necessarily bad. It has a lot of fun moments, a lot of great insight into what makes the man tick. It also has a lot of indulgent diversions throughout, and a significant amount of analysis of Star Wars, which... it's great and all, but when you have a 300 page book and spend so little of it on the films people know you for?I don't like criticizing a book because

Half autobiography, half hilarious spy-intrigue fantasy, this was very different from the other non-fiction I've read. Overall, it has a similar tone to other memoirs I've read by Anna Kendrick or Jim Gaffigan. But the nerdy self fanfic part made this stand out!I didn't recognize Simon Pegg by name but I asked my cousin about him and I like kind of know who he is now. Anyway, reading his book was fun and full of laughter. Simon reads this himself and had pretty great voices. My only complaint

One of the best autobiographies I've read. Simon Pegg is a funny, intelligent nerd and his combination of self-mocking fiction with the story of his life is a winning mixture. I would have liked to have read more about his movie career but I believe he is working on a second volume which may cover it. A well-written, interesting book I recommend it to all nerds.

I couldn't wait to enter into the controversy that surrounds this book, all due to someone's comment on the price. (Check Amazon's reviews. You'll find an amazing amount of bickering over the price of the ebook.)I purchase the hard cover print version, as opposed to the digital version, because of all the controversy. I'm glad I did, as there are pictures of Simon taken throughout his life. And I don't know if they'd be available in the digital version.Shortly into the book, you get the idea

I like Simon Pegg, really, so I almost feel bad about giving this such a poor rating. He seems like the kind of guy I could listen to raving about Star Wars and other geekeries for ages (and I'm not even a Star Wars fan). Unfortunately, this book features very little of his passion for nerd fare, or even any of his typical funny, charming personality. It's so stilted as he tries to juggle writing about himself but not actually telling you anything. It's like an awkward first-day-of-class

This biography feels very disunited. It is clear (he states so several times) that Simon did not know who to write this book for and it clearly shows. The reader is thrown between interesting parts about Simons childhood, cool nerd-reflections and less catching parts about his movie-career. There are glimpses of his fantastic humor when he writes about his alterego but the thrill is lost when he throws in details about his childhood dreams about women...
