I needed a break from the fiction thriller books I have been reading, and this one filled that void with a lot of laughs from me. I have read a few books and seen some movies about the National Lampoon, so I knew who Matty Simmons was.
If you are a fan of the movie Animal House like me, this book is the ultimate insider. In addition to the story of how Matty came to be with the National Lampoon magazine, he tells the story from the writers perspective, how the actors came to be on it and what they are doing now (note: this book was published in 2012), other Animal House renditions (sequels, broadway, television shows), and other notable Lampoon movies. There were also a lot of quotes from everybody involved with the movie.
I enjoyed it, and it was a quick and easy read for me.
