These stories have the same distinctively hilarious, engaging voice as the YouTube animations that James is famous for (and that I have marathoned during weekends and over this current summer break) — in fact, I'm pretty sure several are word-for-word identical to his video scripts, with a few passages changed and/or inserted here and there. Of course, you do have to remember that since James is only twenty-something, naturally there are only so many interesting life stories that he'll be able to think of to tell and of course some of them will already have been used as animation ideas.

So although I would've loved to see even more new stories (including memories with the older sister who rarely gets mentioned, though for all we know she's requested not to be included in his stories, which is of course valid and should be respected), and honestly I would've loved to read a more traditional memoir-/autobiography-style recounting of James's childhood, behind the scenes of making videos, off-camera moments with other friends (from fellow YouTubers like Jaiden and Adam, to childhood friends like TJ), et cetera ... but I'm pretty happy with what we do get in this book. And maybe someday we'll get another book with more stories!
