It's no secret how much I adore Billy Bob Thornton. I think he's brilliant and amazing and incredibly, incredibly hot. When he refers to himself as Quasimodo in his new book "Cave Full of Ghosts", it makes me wonder if he owns a mirror. How Angelina Jolie went from him to Brad Pitt is a mystery to me. What a downgrade. But I digress. "Cave Full of Ghosts" is co-written with Kinky Friedman, whom I also adore. Basically Billy Bob sat down and started telling stories of his life and how he thinks and Kinky recorded it and transcribed it. At any rate, it's fun stuff, seeing into the mind of a genius. I wish there would have been more pictures. That would have made me a happy camper, but it was still pretty awesome :)… (more)

This play was terrific and the movie followed it exactly, perhaps because Billy Bob Thornton wrote, directed and starred in the film that he himself wrote.

Quick and very easy read with wide spacing, so easy going on the eyes.

If you're a fan of Billy Bob Thornton, as I am, then you'll really like this book. If you don't like Thornton, then you're probably not going to like this book. Taken from conversations with Kinky Friedman and then transcribed, it reads just like Billy Bob talks, making the book like having a personal audience with Billy Bob Thornton.
