Stenny: Find Rogan funny or charming? Like substances? This is for you. Would be 5 stars if the book were like 70 pages longer.

Amy: I am a fan of Seth Rogen and a native Vancouvernite too so I bought this book to show my support. But it’s such a good read, I thoroughly enjoyed reading Rogen’s very candid and often hilarious take of his own childhood and teenage years in Vancouver, and then his a humorous look at his adult years in LA through an insider’s view of Hollywood as a writer and actor. I laughed out loud so many times! But there were also some touching moments here and there about his life which makes you appreciate his sense of humor and Rogen’s down to earth character as well despite being a big name in Hollywood these days.

I. Krutainis: If this sounds like Seth Rogen, it is.
I loved George Lucas and Nicolas Cage encounters. But there were other good bits as well.

El: It's not that I didn't like this book - on paper there was everything to like: amusing anecdotes, a friendly conversational tone and an interesting career so far but something fell short of the mark for me. I knew very little about Seth before reading this book but I don't feel that I really know much better having read it either.

The book follows a vaguely chronological arc, it is not a traditional memoir, it's more a series of anecdotes and funny stories written as essays. I enjoyed the anecdotes and Seth had some interesting insights in to how Hollywood works and the inner workings of Twitter but I also felt that Seth skimmed over many aspects of his career (such as his time on Freaks and Geeks) possibly because he didn't have any amusing anecdotes from this period and so chose to cut it out. I think the book would have been better if it had followed a traditional memoir format. Seth is a great storyteller and this is the main selling point of the book, Seth's voice shines through in the writing and he knows how to deliver a punchline.

One thing which bothered me about this book is that he completely skims over his friendship with James Franco. It is well known...

Paul S. Power: I don't think my summer would be complete without mentioning one of the literary highlights of it-reading Seth Rogen's autobiography “Yearbook”. I have to admit right up-front that I am a huge fan of this man's work-seeing every movie, TV show and almost everything he's done on YouTube, and of course I touched on part of that career last month when I wrote about the wonderful TV series “Freaks and Geeks”. One of the actors who got their start on that show was, of course, Seth Rogen. Most people know that Seth was born and raised in Vancouver, B.C. but some may not be aware of the fact that he signed up for a comedy workshop when he was only 12, co-wrote a draft for the movie “Superbad” (which was based on his real experiences) when he was only 13 (what?) and was doing stand-up routines in comedy clubs when he was just 16-making him the family's main wage earner when he co-starred on the TV series “Freaks and Geeks”. The rest is, as they say, history with multiple awards, over 20 movies (as writer, producer, actor or all), creating his own line of Cannabis products (“Houseplant” brand), pottery (no pun intended) and forming a charity with his wife (actress...
