  Review: The way this book was written was horribly: The language and sentence structure was wayyyy too kindergarten like. It felt like a 10 year old's essay where any sentence over 10 words is impossible and where the writing is supremely choppy. Utterly insipid, frustrating and beyond aggravating. And unfortunately, you get used to it after a while. Joss deserves a lot better than the way this was written. All that being said... the information in this biography was pretty damn good. I'm a particular fan of all the quotes that were thrown into the book, it really helped the readers to identify with who Joss Whedon is as a person. And btw, might I mention how much I love that man? He's absolutely hysterical and I'm so happy that he's such a wonderfully offbeat man. Alright, back to the book.... pick it up if you want to learn quite a bit about Joss, don't pick it up if you know enough as it is.
