Representaion Supposing Books Nerd Do Well

The unique life story of one of Britain's most talented and inventive comedians, star of Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and Star Trek.

Zombies in North London, death cults in the West Country, the engineering deck of the Enterprise: Simon Pegg has been ploughing some bizarre furrows in recent times. Having blasted onto the small screens with his now legendary sitcom Spaced, his rise to the UK's favourite son status has been mercurial, meteoric, megatronnic, but mostly just plain great.

From his childhood (and subsequently adult) obsession with Star Wars, his often passionate friendship with Nick Frost, and his forays into stand-up which began with his regular Monday morning slot in front of his 12-year-old classmates, this is a joyous tale of a homegrown superstar and a loval boy made good.

Judgment About Books Nerd Do Well
I don't know why I keep reading celebrity autobiographies expecting something different.This isn't to say that Simon Pegg's memoir is necessarily bad. It has a lot of fun moments, a lot of great insight into what makes the man tick. It also has a lot of indulgent diversions throughout, and a significant amount of analysis of Star Wars, which... it's great and all, but when you have a 300 page book and spend so little of it on the films people know you for?I don't like criticizing a book because

Mini Book Review: A delightfully touching, real and nerdy memoir from one of my favorite British actor/writers. You can really tell while reading it that he doesn't quite understand why anyone would be interested in reading about him, but was convinced to write a memoir in spite of this. His self deprecating humour makes reading it worthwhile and at times I felt a connection with him based on our similar nerdy ways. I got a kick out of him talking about listening to the Noah skit by Bill Cosby

I like Simon Pegg. He's got nerd cred and has continued to gain and enhance his geek cred. Geeks love Shaun of the Dead because we all know the zombie apocalypse will be here any day now. All this was solidified when he played the young Scotty from the Engineering deck on Star Trek. Scotty is geeky in the best possible ways with his engineering know-how, risk-taking, and awesome accent.For me, Nerd Do Well was just okay. The science fiction novel Mr. Pegg weaves throughout the memoir is actually

Review courtesy of my son Marc:A few reasons really come to mind when I'm asked the question why I wished to read the novel Nerd Do Well written by Simon Pegg. The most prominent one is the amazing similarities between us. Simon and I are both extremely smart, witty, handsome and undeniably charming. Our bodies are also hot enough to fry eggs on. All joking aside, I jumped at the chance to read this novel because of the simple fact that Simon Pegg has been one of my all time favorite actors

Someone convinced Pegg to write an autobiography, and so he has. But it seems like he's not sure why anyone would read it, or what he should include. As a result, it's a bit like four books jumbled up into one: How I Became A Writer/Actor, My Childhood, Girls Who Gave Me Boners, and A Peggtastic Space Adventure. I enjoyed the first type of story, thought the second type gave a bit of insight into his curent themes, skim-read anything like the third and skipped the fourth type after slogging

I've loved Simon Pegg ever since I watched Shaun of the Dead back in 2008, re-watched it countless times and then subsequently moved on to his other work like Hot Fuzz. I owe him for ridding me of my Zombie phobia. In fact now, I go seeking some Zombie adventure willingly even if it isn't intended to be comical. Don't read this book, listen to it. Simon Pegg does a great Simon Pegg impersonation. It's my favorite memoir of the celebrity lot. For someone like me who majored in Film and TV with an

This biography feels very disunited. It is clear (he states so several times) that Simon did not know who to write this book for and it clearly shows. The reader is thrown between interesting parts about Simons childhood, cool nerd-reflections and less catching parts about his movie-career. There are glimpses of his fantastic humor when he writes about his alterego but the thrill is lost when he throws in details about his childhood dreams about women...
