I Hate Myselfie: A Collection of Essays by Shane Dawson

There is a reason that this almost has a perfect five star rating on Amazon. It's THAT good.I am soooooooooo not the target demographic for this book. I'm close to forty years old and rarely watch youtube. Before this book I had no real clue who Shane Dawson was. I maybe had seen a few of his videos. My daughter begged me for the book and I'm excited whenever she wants to read. I came and looked at reviews before purchasing it and they are overwhelmingly positive with the exception is some parents. I decided to order and it and read it before she did.I freaking loved it. It literally had me laughing out loud (my strange addiction- which isn't a funny story per se but the visual picture I got of him in a bathroom sink screaming about the devil... well it threatens to send me into hysterics right now)and also crying. (Denny's and Death). I felt like I really learned a lot about him and I LIKED him. No his language isn't clean, yeah sometimes he's a little gross (dude has some intestinal ISSUES) , but he just comes across as genuine. If I tell my little girl that life isn't always gonna be so bad, I probably get my eye roll. Shane tells his funny/tragic stories and she has hope.My daughter is almost 11. As her mother I'm ok with her reading this. There was only one part I thought might be a little inappropriate but on the whole FOR MY CHILD I think is a great book. Of course you might have a different relationship with your child. My daughter is wise beyond her years. We discuss things like gay rights, politics and religion. She never doesn't ask a question she is wondering about. "Mom what's a prostitute? Mom what's masterbate mean? Mom why are people racist? Etc...I'm so glad I ordered this book. Shane Dawson has a new fan in me!This book was a personal purchase and I'm leaving a review so as to help future potential buyers.

I loved this book, read it in a couple hours. If you love Shane as much as I do, you can learn so much about his life through his books. Literally my day consists of watching Shane on YouTube or reading his books, or following him on social media. Shane brings so much laughter to my life I’m so glad I found him online. If you love bad jokes and awkward situations that are funny, this book is for you.

If you're a fan of Shane Dawson, this book is a must have!The copy I received had his signature, but that's more on the seller.It made Shane more relatable and feel more human (as compared to his online self,) as well as explained why he does certain things (like spit out sugar-y food instead of swallowing it or why he doesn't like substituted sugar.)The set up for conversations may not be for all people (it's set up in a [character]: [words] way instead of "[words]", said [character]) and certain words may not be spelled like you'd expect ("ya" as opposed for "yeah" was weird for me.)It's filled with good quotes and I hope the next book he puts out is just as good!

I have been following Shane Dawson on YouTube since he started. I absolutely love his humor. Some of the essays in this book are over the top hilarious and some of them are downright wholesome. I love it. I will probably buy his other book soon considering I loved this one so much. Learning about his experiences with everything has made me realize, he is just in fact another human being in this world with emotional baggage. That's probably why I relate to him so much. I just wanted to share that I do recommend this book for people who get his sense of humor and if you are on the fence of buying it, there is probably a great reason why you haven't yet. For me, it has been an emotional roller coaster that I actually enjoy. And to be honest, I haven't been interested in reading a book, front to back, in YEARS. Probably since high school. So the fact that I read this book in nearly one night, forcing myself to put it down and get some sleep, makes me think that I spend my time and money well. Believe me when I say this but it's definitely not for everyone.

I’ve become a Shane fan in the last few months since Andrew became his cameraman. I tried watching older videos, pre-Ryland, and I just can’t really relate. That’s how I felt about this book. It seemed like he was trying too hard to be shocking or use shocking words when it was kind of unnecessary. I think that now that he’s living a more authentic life, his book would be better. Though there was definitely heart and funny moments in this book. I just think that he’s def matured since then, so I am looking forward to reading “ it gets worse”. I get a sense I might like it better because it’s more recent...

I wasn't actually expecting a lot from this, although I love it, Shane's Youtube content often times feels low budget, low effort and low maturity.This book is a complete 180 from all that and is actually a personal, profound and sharply written memoir.Each chapter (or essay) is relatively self-contained and so one can jump around from episode to episode and not particularly miss anything.It's awkward, uncomfortable and absolutely hilarious! Shane did a brilliant job of capturing his voice and personality perfectly within this book and even those who aren't fans of his videos will be sure to find something they enjoy within its pages!

Didn't revived any note pr anything to say where my parcel was at.It said it arrived at 9pm which all delivery services dont work at that time.It was behind a box at the back of my yard laying in a heap. I wrote a note on the front door on June 1st to say out behind bench mind you I have 2 benches one around the corner which lead to the garden which I was meaning not behind of that garden which is a little yard.Would've been nice to know where it was at instead of having to look on Amazon to just see for it say. Should've gotton a note in the letterbox or at least an email becuase thsnks to this it was soaking wet.. hood thing it was a book not electric.

Love it. You can really tell that Shane Dawson wrote the book it is so good just like it gets worse. Its good for if you have a busy life because its not all one story it's mini story's of Shane's life and it's amazing I love it and it is so great and has some texture added to the outside of the book

Brought for my daughter which read it in a day and she loved it. Definitely a must buy if your down with Shane Dawson

Great book, but lost me with the total BS chapter on astral projection. It felt so out of place in the context of the book.Other than that, Shane is hilarious and his personality shines through. Bought the second.
