Camryn Sykes's Reviews > Memoirs and Misinformation

I’ve always been a huge fan of Jim Carrey and his wise mind, so naturally, I was very excited when I heard about his new memoir, and looked forward to gaining a deeper understanding of this creative genius by learning about his life experiences. However, only a couple chapters was enough to tell me that this book was nothing that I expected it to be. I can tell that it’s trying to be symbolic, but the symbols are confusing and the content is jumbled in a way that makes it rather meaningless. It was fucking weird, to say the least. I decided to give up after a few chapters because I don’t want to waste any more time reading it when I have so many other books on my to-read list. I was thoroughly disappointed and wish that Jim Carrey had provided his fans with an honest and serious memoir instead of writing nonsense that seemed meaningful only to him. But then again, it’s Jim Carrey! He can do whatever the fuck he wants! And I still love the man lots! But this book was terrible.
