“…can’t people just not fucking suck as human beings once in a while? […] People have just as much capacity to be good as they do to be shit. It’s a choice. People make choices. So they need to make better fucking choices.”

Being that this is Corey Taylor’s third book you think I’d be used to his absolutely impeccable way of putting into words all the bitching and complaining that runs through my head, but I am. Like all the times when I’m confronted with the idiocy of this planet be it b

4.5 or 4.75 just not reaching 5 stars

I have had a prolonged toughtful session as to what should I write for a review to this book. I mean I don’t think I could simply write anyhing down here without thinking about the possibility that Mr. Taylor there would by some chance come across it and think I am another dumb soul who walks this earth. And I am telling ya, you do not want this man out of anyone else to think you’re dumb, or get mad at/because of you. He will rip your dignity and every sing

Corey has done it.
I always thought that Bernard Black is my spirit guide, but now I’m starting to think that maybe Corey is one. Or maybe they can guide me both? I really hope so.

Oh sush you, Bernard. You’ll do just fine.

Corey is a very verbose author, and this time I don’t mean it like an accusation. He’s not like Hardy, who puts you to sleep every single time you open his books.
He’s verbose, but also he’s hilarious and wicked smart.
He speaks all the things you think but never say out loud.

Corey Taylor has done it again. This book is more aggressive and opinionated than his first two books, and he calls this one his «Angry Old Man book.» It’s definitely angry. AND HILARIOUS.

This book is not for the masses or for people who have issues with vulgar language. I would definitely recommend it to fans of Slipknot and Stone Sour as well as heavy metal/hard rock fans in general.

Corey Taylor basically uses this book to rant about all the things people do that he absolutely hates. Each chap

There are moments when Taylor is genuinely funny: «show me on the doll where that makes any sense» and «…makes me want to kill penguins in front of children,» are examples of his colorful language that earn genuine guffaws. But he’s a one-trick pony without the depth or dynamism of other famous ranters (ie.: Dennis Miller, George Carlin). This collection of essays is already short, but each chapter could be trimmed by half.

I was especially disappointed by his screed, late in the book, that ma

I was blessed with an early copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for this honest review.

(This review can also be seen on my blog @ Ok, so I…)

In this third novel by Slipknot and Stone Sour vocalist, Corey Taylor, we are taken on a witty adventure into into his brain as he reveals truths about the idiocy that resides in the human race. I feel that anyone who reads this book at some point can relate to (or be insulted by) the subjects discussed within. Parenting, children, the music indu

I bought this book because of all the raving reviews but i must say that i was very disappointed. It was mostly an angry diatribe about everything that we all find annoying in our daily lives, which i usually enjoy. I felt like Corey just tried to hard to sound much more intellectual than would be necessary for such a subject matter. If any of you readers are familiar with the rambling, nonsensical «final thought» on the old Jerry Springer show, then you’ll know what i’m talking about. I also fe

There’s a passing reference Corey Taylor makes about this book that sums it up probably more succinctly and accurately than I could: «This is indeed my Angry Old Man book.»

So with that, a quick — and unsurprising — disclaimer: if you’re easily offended, probably not the book for you. Corey is quick to point out the human race are assholes and no one is safe, and he means it.

And with that comes the inevitable problem of hearing someone complain about something you’re not 100% on board with, kind

First of all, what this book is not:
* Angry
* A Thomas Ligotti diatribe against humanity
* Advocating violence or discord of any sort

What this book is:
* Hilarious
* Hilarious
* Hilarious

I was expecting a meandering reduction of humanity in its basest form, which can be entertaining at times. What I got was a non-divisive, hilarious rant on annoying features about humans, but no specifics about individual humans themselves.

A chapter on people who don’t use their turn signals?

It’s hard to take offense

When I first saw that Corey Taylor wrote a book (yes I know he already wrote several but somehow I never knew this) and it’s called «You’re making me hate you» I was so excited and directly had to buy it. So you can imagine my expectations were really high that this book was funny, agressiv and honest.
Starting to read it, unfortunately I didn’t find it funny. It was interesting, sometimes it was amusing, but really funny? No. I understand why people say it’s hilarious and shocking, but for me it

Now I consider myself a pretty big fan of Slipknot, so after hearing great reviews about the some of Corey Taylor’s writing I decided to give this book a try. I may still take a stab at reading one of his other books because I really want to like his writing and give it a second chance, but I need time to recover from this hot mess of a book. This book was just a bunch of rants about how much more intelligent Taylor finds himself to be over the rest of us plebians, and while I found his colorful

This book basically echoes all my sentiments in a way that only someone as brazen and articulate as Corey Taylor is capable of.

From the sad state of the music industry to the parents who are leashing their children, nothing is off limits.

The thing I love most about Corey’s books is that he doesn’t just give you his opinion, he tells you why he has that opinion. He could have stopped at «pop music is shallow rubbish» and few of us would have disagreed with him, but that would just be too easy.

I love snarky books, comedy books, clever social commentary. I thought I’d like this one after a coworker loaned it to me. But no. I couldn’t even finish it. I read through chapter five and was really put off by the constant negative trashing. I like funny foul-mouthed cleverness but this was just a windbag in love with his many was to say crass things and rip on everyone. Boring and real lack of wit.

Bravo mr. Taylor. Another great book.

I agreed on basically everything except hating fall out boy. They are totally overplayed and I get it, but they still have talent and actually write their songs.

Corey has such a wonderful way of writing. My face changes every sentence. I am either laughing, angry or intently paying attention.

Corey is awesome. The end

Hoping For some interesting commentary unfortunately just rants about the easiest targets of all. gosh it’s hard to wait in line in an airport gosh some parents suck. Gosh current pop music isn’t up to my standards lots of reference to shitting his pants did this happen often only plus is I liked his voice on the audiobook

I loved it! Corey Taylor makes you laugh, yet he always makes a point. I look forward to reading his books.

You kind of get the point by chapter 5. Ironically, this book made me hate him a little bit.

“I haven’t been everywhere, but I’ve been to enough “wheres” to know that Earth has pockets of stupid popping up north, south, east, and west. From the equator to the prime meridian—dumb does not so easily wash off.”

One should NOT read this book at a public place, for example a nice, quiet hipster cafe. While drinking beer. You’ll just end up laughing so hard you’ll look positively stupid with beer bursting from your nostrils. The intro alone made me laugh for 15 minutes straight. After finishi

4,5/5. This book just played with my feelings all reading long. It made me laugh, made me angry and made me happy that I’m not alone thinking that way. Funny but a deeper true behind every aspect of it, that makes you think, if you’re willing to give some energy to it, about people, society and just how crazily we are just destroying and loosing sight of everything that’s important. I was curious to see what Corey Taylor could create has an author and I wasn’t disappointed. Interesting!

I thought I was pretty bad when it came to ranting and raging. However, I think Corey Taylor has me beat.

This books basically details what makes Corey Taylor angry with the human race. The short answer; they suck. The long answer; chapters of ranting, raging, and some pretty funny stories.

Funny read. Corey Taylor is definitely the King of ranting.

This was hilarious and agreed with Mr Taylor on so many of his points. he presented his opinions clearly and intelligently yes at points he probably does get pretty rambly but I think that shows passion. I adore this man.
recommend wether your a fan of his bands or not. it’s a great time.

Once again, Corey Taylor does not disappoint!

This is the third book I have read by Taylor and the first I didn’t do as an audio book. Since I received an early copy through NetGalley, listening to Taylor rant at the top of his lungs was not an option.

But it would have been funny as hell.

You’re Making Me Hate You takes a cranky look at the state of the world and the human race. Taylor rants on everything from the music industry to the behavior of children. From travelling in airports to fashion d

After a long long wait, It was with great excitement that I finally
could put my hands on this book, as a big fan of Slipknot & Stone Sour
for many years, I couldn’t wait to read it. Well, here’s my review:

The first few chapters are there to grab the reader, and hell, it worked…
I admit it was hilarious. Even though the Charles and Janice tale felt
way too improbable and explosive to be real.

While I agree with the points made in the book, media, the music industry,
reality TV, social networks du

His humor is not for me.

I don’t mind some cursing. I’ve heard the F-word so many times, I’m thinking of naming one of my children after it. That is not the problem. The first story of the author’s life is about how he took a heroine addict home in a taxi cab, but before they got there, the addict had to vomit. They stopped the cab, and the author escorted the heroine addict down a dark street so that the poor guy could ralph on someone’s lawn. Then the man pulled down his pants (unsuccessfully)

I received a copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Here’s the disclaimer right away. If you’re easily offended odds are you’re going to hate this book because you’ll probably see yourself a lot in these pages It’s a book designed to point out mankind’s flaws and Corey Taylor does this in a way that will make you both laugh out loud and growl in frustration because you’ll agree with him more often than you’ll disagree with him.

This is for the intelligent people. We need a book

I was lucky enough to receive another Advanced Reader’s Copy (ARC) from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review! You’re Making Me Hate You is the latest and greatest book by Slipknot’s front man Corey Taylor. Not being a major fan of Slipknot, I didn’t know what to expect going into this book, but Corey Taylor definitely blew me away. This man took the time to write an ENTIRE book on the ignorant things people in today’s societ

I’ve known that Cory Taylor, lead singer of Slipknot and Stone Sour has written a few books but this is my first of his and I must say that I know he’s an intelligent man when it comes to lyrics but was pleasantly surprised to see him express himself chapter after chapter. This book is a in your face, I don’t care how you’ll look at me afterwards I’m speaking my mind type read and bravo Mr. Taylor for not backing down. We’re given brutal honesty mixed with some hilarious moments and past experie

I listened to this on audiobook. It was narrated by the author.
I have to admit that I was drawn to this book my its title and cover. Both made me laugh because I’m a bit of a misanthrope. I had no idea who the author was and when I found out the Slipknot connection, it had no impact on me, as I have never heard their music and knew nothing about them.
Unfortunately, this book was not nearly as amusing as I hoped it to be. There was a lot of rambling, a fair dose of narcissism, and passages of she

A few good jokes and anecdotes in the opening chapters but quickly devolves into self indulgent whinging and carping on about how stupid people are without giving any actual solutions to the problem, or doing it in a funny enough way for me to enjoy it.

A surprisingly boring book.

A blunt, harsh look at the world as we know it. His observations and opinions are so spot on that they a hilariously truthful and honest. He says and points out things that most of us are afraid to bring up or draw attention to. Great read that makes you chuckle at us as humans.
