Publisher's Synopsis
For those of you who may have found yourself recently searching "fuck my shit up" on Google, don't fret: an impassioned/freeform/temperate/drive-by jerkoff's voice book is coming your way. The book delivers more dick jokes than LeBron James' shot attempts from the free throw line. It's part of Jonah Hill's celebrated mid-career renaissance, which may deserve a category in its own right.It's out this week and a great deal of it is comedy. Fifteen of its six thousand chapters are very funny, and occasionally they're even good. Because of course they are. But I can't help but feel a little disappointed by the book overall.Just because I do not know how to sequence a paragraph doesn't mean I don't want to listen to it, and fuck the grammatical errors ("hissing for confusion"), err funny while they're happening, for a few minutes. But if I'm honest, I'm a little disappointed by the decisions of editors Elyse Field and David Pearce to write the book this way. With less than two hours to go before publication, the book was written very quickly, with missing punctuation and all-caps text. It's erratic in tone, often jingoistic, and sometimes self-defeatingly so. It's part of why I wish the end of each chapter would be supplemented with a simple welcome, rather than an excuse for accidentally typing "fuck shit up" and then handing a copy to a Bookseller/Uncle.Sometimes, Fuck My Shit Up reads like a lip-reading diary, with a muddled trail of cigarette smoke and a cadence that suggests an immature swear jar bong. When it's good, though, the book is brimming with good jokes, great de-moralizing lessons, and all-around convivial excursions.Fuck My Shit Up reads like a few excerpts from The Devil Wears Prada or some other television or movie character's personal diary. Perhaps it is wishful thinking, but I doubt that's what the book is. But if I'm keeping a passion meter in my head, I'm going way over the top on the positive end of the scale. Whatever you think of it, it's at least worth skimming.NOTE: This is a work of fiction.All references to celebrities or real people are fictional occurrences and/or parody.All websites, URLs, email addresses, Twitter accounts, phone numbers, etc. are fake.
