New York Times Bestseller● Publishers Weekly Bestseller ● Los Angeles Times Bestseller ● Wall Street Journal BestsellerFrom his first vlog back in 2008 to his full-length film directorial debut Not Cool, Shane Dawson has been an open book when it comes to documenting his life. But behind the music video spoofs, TMI love life details, and outrageous commentary on everything the celebrity and Internet world has the nerve to dish out is a guy who grew up in a financially challenged but loving home in Long Beach, California, and who suffered all the teasing and social limitations that arise when you’re a morbidly obese kid with a pretty face, your mom is your best friend, and you can't get a date to save your life. In I Hate Myselfie, Shane steps away from his larger-than-life Internet persona and takes us deep into the experiences of an eccentric and introverted kid, who by observing the strange world around him developed a talent that would inspire millions of fans. Intelligent, hilarious, heartbreaking, and raw, I Hate Myselfie is a collection of eighteen personal essays about how messy life can get when you’re growing up and how rewarding it can feel when the clean-up is (pretty much) done.

This collection of essays and short stories runs the gamut from laugh-out-loud hilarious to touching to exhilarating. If you are looking for a quick, light read that will get you chuckling and spitting up your drink, this is it.My favorite chapter is called "The Original Catfish," and details how he decided to get back at some kids who kept making fun of him. At one point he's so upset at their teasing that, "I ran to the bathroom and locked myself in the stall. I cried for a good ten minutes and then took a s***. There's nothing more depressing than crying while you are smelling your own s***."Shane decides to get them back, by posing as a woman online who is interested in them. Hijinks ensue, and young Shane is then, for once, given the power to shut them down.Shane covers so many funny stories from his life, including his first kiss (at age 21 to a girl), his three year job as a salesman at a weight loss center(!), and even his experiences with astral projection. His writing is witty, irreverent, sometimes filthy, and always inspired. I especially loved all his pop culture references, from Saved by the Bell to Gary Busey to 7th Heaven to even Sizzler and Nutter Butters.Throughout his stories, his rampant self-deprecation all-but-covers-up his underlying issues with self-image and self-esteem. Reading "I Hate Myselfie" made me remember another book that's also about a young man who struggled with being considered different. Wade Rouse's At Least in the City Someone Would Hear Me Scream: Misadventures in Search of the Simple Life is quick, fun, hilarious, and, at times, touching read. It's worth a look if you like Shane.
I purchased this book for my daughter who has followed Shane Dawson for several years now. We both have been a avid follower of Shane. We decided to read the book together. We laughed to tears and then we cried and laughed again. I must say that this is one of the most entertaining books that I have read in a long time. My daughter never liked reading but she couldn't put this book down. She hopes that he will write another one and can't wait to have him read it to her as she plans to purchase that down load as well. I think anyone with a sense of humor would love this book young or old. I am so glad that I purchased this book for her. It gives an inside story to Shane and his personal experiences though some are sad most are extremely funny. I would highly recommend this book as a gift or just for yourself regardless of your age. We all have done similar things in our life but he has put it together in an amazingly enjoyable book that you once you start reading you simply can't put down. It was like four am when we finished it. A must have for your book shelf.
I frequently watch Shane on Youtube (to be specific, everyday). And getting to see into his life, almost like it was "our little secret", was really fun but really sad at the same time. I don't mean I was sad that I spent the time reading it, I meant the story was sad. I knew from a lot of Shane's video's that he had a hard time when he was growing up, but I didn't know it was like that. Being a Christian, like Shane, it was good to see that he went to God for help when he needed it. I must say, it was great getting to have Shane for an hour and a half while reading rather then only 5 minutes a day.How do I talk about this? I mean, I'm guessing that if you're reading this, you probably have an interest in Shane or reading his book. If you want to read his book, read it. It's good. Especially if you like his humour. I mean, yes, I will admit there was some things that I didn't find as funny as some may but everyone's different I guess. I do enjoy watching Shane's video's but getting to see into his life, REALLY, was a totally different experience.His stories were interesting, kept my attention, made me laugh and sometimes made me really sad. There was a lot of sadness when I read this. But all the laughing and happy moments made the story worth it. And, a little side note, the cover is amazing. I love the use of colour and lighting. Just amazing. Another amazing thing about this book is that Shane got his fans to draw pictures for each short story in the book and I think that's another awesome thing he has done. He is bringing recognition to those aspiring artists, not all for himself.What I'm trying to say is: job well done Shane. I certainly enjoyed your book and I feel really bad I couldn't see you on your book tour because I love books so much. Which is why this was an awesome idea. A mix of him and books... just awesome.
There is a reason that this almost has a perfect five star rating on . 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.
