If chins could kill...they would do it by boring you to death!
I was looking forward to this book but it didn't live up to my expectations. After seeing so many good reviews I was expecting a genuinely funny and quirky book full of all the exciting things that Bruce has gotten up to throughout his career. However, it trundles along at a slow pace from one flat anecdote to another, and I found it a struggle to stay interested. I read it through to the end but it wasn't very rewarding and I would much rather spend my time watching one of Bruce's films. If you are a die-hard fan then give it a go, but if you enjoy reading books then this probably isn't for you.
Groovy
Only half way through but a fantastic insight into small budget film making Bruce Campbell is a Genuine funny, Class A Shemp!!!!
if chins could kill, well split my rib cage anyway
If chins could kill is the single most endearing autobiography I have read. It is a breath of fresh air to read about his life and tales without having all that political "A" list drivvel forced on you. Bruce recalls his life and story in such a genuine way that you feel he could in fact be one of your mates. You just end up wishing Bruce all the fortune that "A" list actors get, amazingly Bruce is not bitter, he just enjoys doing what he does best, entertaining schmucks like us. In a word the book is "groovy". Now where are those evil dead films again?
