What you're reading right now is known as the ?flap copy.? This is where the 72,444 words of my latest book, Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way, are cooked down to fit in a 3 ½-by-9 ½-inch column. But how does one do that with a fictional story about a B movie actor?s disastrous attempt to finally star in a big-budget Hollywood movie? Do you tantalize readers with snappy zingers like the one in chapter six where Biff the Wonder Boy says, ?You may be bred in ol? Kentucky, but you're only a crumb up here?? Or do you reveal pivotal plot points like the one at the end of the book where the little girl on crutches points an accusing finger and shouts, ?The killer is Mr. Potter!?
I have too much respect for you as an attention-deficient consumer to attempt such an obvious ruse. But let?s not play games here. You?ve already picked up the book, so you either:
A.     Know who I am
B.     Like the cool smoking jacket I?m wearing on the cover
C.     Have just discovered that the bookstore restroom is out of toilet paper
Is this a relationship book? Well, if by ?relationship book? you mean that the characters in it have relationships or are related to someone, then yes, absolutely. Will you learn how to pick up chicks? Good heavens, I can only hope so, though for best results in that department you should both read this book and be Brad Pitt.
Is it a sequel to my autobiography, If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor? Sadly, no, which made it much harder to write. According to my publisher, I haven't ?done? enough since 2001 to warrant another memoir.
Is it an ?autobiographical novel?? Yes. I'm the lead character in the story and I'm a real person and everything in the book actually happened, except for all the stuff that didn?t.
Mostly, the action revolves around my preparations for a pivotal role in director Mike Nichols?s A-list relationship film Let's Make Love!, starring Richard Gere, Renée Zellweger, and Christopher Plummer. This is the kind of break most actors can only dream of. But my Homeric attempt to break through the glass ceiling of B-grade genre fare is hampered by a vengeful studio executive and a production that becomes infected by something called the ?B movie virus,? symptoms of which include excessive use of cheesy special effects, slapstick, and projectile vomiting.
When someone fingers me as the guy responsible for the virus, thus ruining my good standing in the entertainment industry (hey, I said it was fiction, okay?), I become a fugitive racing against the clock, an innocent patsy battling the shadowy forces of the studio system to clear my name, save my career, and destroy the Death Star. In a jaw-dropping twist worthy of Hitchcock (page 274), you'll gasp as I turn the tables on Hollywood and attempt to salvage my reputation in a town where you?re only as good as your last remake.
From a violent fistfight with a Buddhist to a life-altering stint in federal prison, this novel has it all. If you like John Grisham, Tom Clancy, or one too many run-on sentences, you'll absolutely love Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way. And if the 72,444 words are too time-consuming, there are lots and lots of cool graphics.
Regards,
Bruce ?Don't Call Me Ash? Campbell

Bruce Campbell's first book, If Chins Could Kill, was a major sleeper hit
and became a New York Times and national bestseller. His immense energy and
sharp wit are in evidence again in Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way, a novel that will
have readers laughing out loud.

Hilarious!

It helps to be a Bruce Campbell fan in the first place, but I found this book hilarious. Have to believe Bruce was "expanding" on the experiences he had researching a character role. If his life is truly that weird...well...what can I say? Great read if you just want to smile awhile.

Make Love!!! The Bruce Campbell Way

Love'n the Bruce!!!! This book made me laugh so hard I had to buy a copy for my brother-in-law who turned me on to Evil Dead,And Bubba Hotep.

Awesome book.

Bruce's books are as amazing as his movies. Lots of laughs, very intellegent, and written in only a way that Bruce Campbell could do with a story only Bruce could cook up. Just as good as "Chins"

Read fiction - the Bruce Campbell way

Make Love (etc) is purportedly an account of Bruce's attempt to make a movie called "Let's Make Love" with Richard Gere and Renee Zellweger. Told in a conversational style, it details Bruce's encounters with actors, agents, producers, and security personell. It starts off like a 'behind the scenes, making of' book, but soon rolls over the top and becomes sort of an adventure story of its own, ending with Bruce being persued by various local, state, and federal agents, to a final shoot-out at a fan's house. For fans of Bruce Campbell, Hollywood insider doings, wry humor and just plain strangeness.

A MUST-READ for Bruce Campbell fans!

After Bruce's success with If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor the B-movie actor went on to make another hit. Make Love! is what Bruce himself calls an auto-biographical novel. This book is about him, in his own life, but most of the events never happened. This is what makes this read fun. It is a "what-if" kind of book. However, unlike Chins, this book is mostly just for fans. If you are unfamiliar with his work, you may find this book to be "uninteresting" to say the least. Although, even being the mild Campbell fan that I am, I still found this a joyful read.
