Written in side-splitting and often cringe-inducing detail, Paul Feig takes you in a time machine to a world of bombardment by dodge balls, ill-fated prom dates, hellish school bus rides, and other aspects of public school life that will keep you laughing in recognition and occasionally sighing in relief that you aren't him. Kick Me is a nostalgic trip for the inner geek in all of us.
Its shocking that one person could have so many humiliating experiences and even more shocking that he chose to remember them. Kick Me is like an unofficial prequel to Freaks and Geeks. If anything, Paul Feigs real stories are actually more harrowing than what his fictional characters went through. Ira Glass, host of This American Life
I love Paul Feigs sense of humorin a platonic way. This book is hilarious. I recommend it to people like me. And to people who dont like me. Garry Shandling
