Review: Ever get a feeling that you can't pursue your dreams?That's how Jamie Kennedy felt.This is a great book to read if you want a ton of laughs and want a story of how someone made it into Hollywood on their own.Love ya Jamie!Keep writing!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilarious Book.... Over The Top Story.
Review: Firstly this book is hiliarous. If you like Jamie's brand of off-the-cuff ingenious comedy on The Jamie Kennedy Experiment, then you will appreciate and enjoy this book.

To me, Jamie Kennedy's story is totally over the top because when he gets to Hollywood it sounds like he just sort of acted like the biggest buffoon, celebrity-wannabe of all time... yet somehow he ends up "making it." He goes from being totally homeless without a cent to being a regular on Ellen!?!

The book really starts to get interesting when Jamie creates Marty Power, is fake agent. That's when you really start to see where the elements of JKX are rooted.

Anyway, good job Jamie, you're great... and to any fans, spend the money or check this book out from the library and give it a read.

Summary: Couldn't Put It Down!
Review: I don't really want to say that this book surprised me by how good it is, because Jamie is one of the funniest people on the planet, but I have to say it caught me off guard by how well it reads. That said, I didn't think he would be able to cross over to this media as successfully as Wannabe has to show off his humor, even with the help of a Harvard grad to co-write.

After not being able to put Wannabe down for a second, I have to say he has pulled it off! It's sad, funny, happy, crazy, unbelievable and most importantly, refreshingly REAL! Sure he ad-libs a few things here and there, but that is his sense of humor spinning on the thought he's trying to get out, and I for one had a laughing spurt every couple pages. People around me when I was reading must have thought I was a nutcase.

For non-Jamie fans considering Wannabe, if you have any sense of humor, or are looking for a great and touching story, definitely pick this one up.

Congrats Jamie, not just on the book...but finding your way through the ugliness that Hollywood can be, so you can bring the world your hysterical sense of humor. I think it's your best Autobiography ever!

Some people might not get it or appreciate it, but to those of us who do, you fill a void that no one else ever possibly could!

P.S. It's 4:15 in Madagascar!

Summary: Wonderful and funny book!
Review: I have been a Jamie Kennedy fan since I saw him in the first "Scream" movie and I just recently heard about this book. I couldn't put it down! It was so funny and such a great look into Jamie's pursuit to get into show business and all the ups and downs that he had to go through to get there. He was so determined and nothing kept him from reaching his dreams and goals. I would definitely recommend this book.

Summary: Absolutely Hilarious
Review: I have to admit that I was a little hesitant to buy this book but it is honestly one of the funniest books that I've read in a long time. With each page you turn the stories become more and more outrageous and the best part is that all of them are true! It's a great beach book and very easy to read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not just for hard-core Jamie Kennedy fans
Review: I knew Jamie Kennedy from his TV show, but I wouldn't say I was a die-hard fan, and I probably wouldn't have bought this book. But then my girlfriend shoved it in my hands and insisted I read it. And now, having read it (cover to cover, by the way), I can unequivocally say that it is AWESOME.

Jamie really knows how to tell a story. He's offbeat, unusual, and completely honest. And his sense of humor is outrageous. I read the whole thing on an airplane ride from New York to LA and I laughed out loud every ten minutes. At least. The guy sitting in the seat next to me wanted to choke me.

Seriously, though, I can't say enough good things about this book. I mean, it's motivated me to write an Amazon.com review, which I've never done before, so that's gotta be good for something, right?
