Four chapters in, I'm enjoying it, but I think unless you're already a fan of his, such a book might raise the question "who does this special effects guy think he is to give me life advice?!"
He does a good job reading his own work. Obviously, if I didn't find him to be a good presenter and communicator of his own material, I wouldn't have gotten hooked on his videos in the first place.

Of course, one could ask the same question of anyone who gives life advice. I'm a big Mythbuster's fan and have generally liked most of the stuff that Adam Savage has done. I'm not exactly what one would call handy with tools, so I'm not a maker, but it sounds interesting. I think I'll give it a try.
