Pretty amusing. The writing and humor style got a bit stale by the end, but the illustration for how to survive a Chevy Chase attack made the read worth it

Good concept that sometimes failed in execution. The first half is solid - it's funny and honest and gives a peek behind the curtain of fame, which is probably why we're all here (for the Chevy Chase stories). The majority of the second half is comedy with only tangential relationship to memoir, which would be okay if it stuck the landing, but I found it uneven. It verged into over the top and a lot of the jokes were either repetitive or mean. Still, I enjoyed it, I laughed, and I thought it was largely clever.
