Like many reclusive celebrities, Big Foot is misunderstood. In his touching memoir Me Write Book he wants to set the record straight, proving that although he’s larger, hairier, and more foul-smelling than most of us, he’s really not so different underneath.
Only the most coldhearted among us could look on without compassion as this hirsute Everyman struggles bravely with casual cannibalism, Pringles potato crisps, embarrassing moments with peach Schnapps, the desperate loneliness of personal ads, and philosophical quandaries.
Readers will never forget the plaintive voice from the wilderness that howls from every page of this searing, intimate account of a man-beast in the promised land.

This is by far the funniest book I have ever read! Written from the perspective of Bigfoot, this memior takes the reader through the rollercoaster life of Bigfoot as he experiences the ups and downs of any hollywood star. From the first page on, I couldn't stop laughing as Bigfoot eloquently describes his most personal experiences. If you have a bit of a twisted sense of humor, you will love this very unique, and I think, extremely clever book about a very misunderstood forrest dweller.

the one-star review by honest joe is AWFUL. he completely misses the humor here, and believe me, it's hard to miss what roumieu is doing. it's bigfoot's memoir...yes, everything ends ugly (typically with bigfoot smashing someone's head in), but what else would bigfoot do? as a matter of fact, i kinda wish bigfoot would read 'honest joe's' review. ("me smash hed in!") roumieu's books are brilliant & silly & sweet, and what roumieu's really doing is having endless fun sending up modern pop culture. it's great great stuff~!

This book was hilarious! Roumieu is some sort of genius of insane, wacky, sometimes twisted humor. Please do read this book, you'll be glad you did.
