The book itself is well made. The cover is nice and stands out. I noticed no spelling or grammar errors. The paper is good quality and white, the print is quite large and well spaced making for a very easy but short read.
There are a few black and white as well as colour pictures spattered within.
Shane Dawson is a you-tuber (Its kind of like TV but different) and if you have enjoyed any of his skits or vlogs (video blogs) about his life. I am sure you would enjoy this book.
The book is exactly what it says on the cover, a collection of stories from his life and are well told with humor. His voice really come through and i felt at times like i was watching one of his videos while reading.
This book was released before Shane came out as bisexual so there are a few places in the book where he isn't exactly forthcoming with that information. But we shouldn't blame anyone for not coming out, we need to address the bigotry that prevents people from accepting there own sexuality and being open and honest with others about it.
If you have ever enjoyed one of Shane's older videos then i am sure you will enjoy this book. A great book for younger readers, its easy to read and relevant.
If your at all worried about the content for younger readers, just read it first and then talk with the youth about any issues you may have with them after they read it. (I know, i know that's like basic parenting 101).
An open dialogue is always better than censorship and ignorance, in my opinion.
