Summary: Kick Me now- the story of heartaches and paranoia
Comment: From gym class skirmishes, to awkward first kisses, Paul Feig takes the reader through his disjointed adolescence in his memoir, "Kick Me, Adventures in Adolescence." His humerous tone is set during the first pages of the book, as he brings up the terribly agonizing names one could be planted with in life. Each chapter illustrates an in-depth, obviously a tad embellished, memorable time in the life of a boy, titled with the nickname Fig Newton. Falling in love with his female alter ego at one point, and giving away a valued family heirloom to an unattainable eighth grade crush during another, "Kick Me" explores the true thoughts of a developing boy. Through his experienes, the reader is able to sympathize, empathize, and practically dash under the covers as Feig reencounters his humilitating, unimaginable traumas. If you are a fan of old Monty Python movies, Leave it to Beaver episodes, or any old TV shows and movies, you'll travel back in time reading this twisted, even nostaligic narrative of a naive, paranoid, and absolutley hilarious adolescent.
I give this book five stars, ten points on the scale, two thumbs up, and a dozen cookies for Feig's humerous tone and courageous ability to remain unhaunted by humilation as he reecounters with unbelievale times. For his sensitivity, although indirect at points, but noticed through his sentiments and exaggerated feelings that were coated by comedic, often sarcastic jokes. And for his broad use of diction, who knows, you may even pick up on a few SAT words while laughing yourself silly...
Paul feig takes us through his encounters with drinking, changing for the first time in the gym locker room, CPR lessons, the anxities of crushes, and ends his journey with his senior prom; periods of adolescence in which we all can relate to. I felt connected with Feig throughout his growth from beginning to end, and even felt like helping him out during certain times. Paul Feig is a guy in which you grow to love, through his comedic and outragous expeditions. Even when your mind tells you that things can get no worse, they do for poor Paul. Read it, on days when you want assurance, wisdom, or simply a mere dose of laughter. These stories are prone to put a smile on your face, possibly along with a cringe...and maybe even touch a tender spot in your heart!

Summary: Trials and tribulations of a geek
Comment: Paul Feig has acquired a real legion of fans as a result of his television show "Freaks and Geeks." And justifiably so. "Freaks and Geeks" was one of the best shows in the last twenty years. Feig's book "Kick Me" is just as enjoyable. As others here have commented the book contains equal doses of cringing and laughter. For most of us adolescence was painful and Paul's was off the scale. But his sense of humour and writing talents make his tales of teenaged angst a pleasure to read.

Summary: Freaks & Geeks: The Book!
Comment: I picked up this book because I loved the show Freaks & Geeks. You see, Paul Feig, author of this book, also created the show. This book definetly fits right along, side by side, with Freaks & Geeks.
Paul Feig tells of his geeky and embarrasing adventure throughout school. Never have I laughed so much from reading a book. From his showering in gym escapade to the first time he discovered, erm, self love.
This is a must read for anyone who ever felt left out or completely embarrased during their school days. In fact this should be part of the required reading for school kids so they can see it could always be worse.
All jocks and cheerleader should pass, as they'll probably laughing at instead of with.
