He’s angry and yelling the whole time. Listening to him complain is depressing.

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 wasn't. I mean come on, I know his music, I know a bit about him, there wasn't anything that I wouldn't have expected. This book basically just showed me that Corey is just a normal guy - yes not that "Polo-shirt-wearing, golf-playing, next-door-dad, but still, just a normal guy who had a hard childhood and learned to get along with but never quite over it.
It was a nice read but still I was disappointed.

I really struggled to get to the end of this one. There were sections that were just boring. There was funny stuff and I enjoyed when he told stories from his past but the endless ranting just got a bit old towards the end.

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

I may have been better off reading one of his other books first, I have heard his writing is quite good and had friends who did recommend this book but at the end I felt a bit - meh.
The first maybe chapter or two I like, finding it funny and thinking "Oh this is definitely something I want to share with people" but then as I started to delve into the other chapters I felt myself falling off.
I love a good angry man rant, Henry Rollin's being one of my top angry men but at times this rant just seemed to fall flat with me and I waiting for him to hurry up and move on to the next topic.

I found myself agreeing with a fair amount of Taylor's opinions, and at times even chuckled but mostly I just couldn't concentrate on this book. I don't know if it was the general tone or Taylor's habit of going on tangents mid thought, or both but something just kept taking me out of the book no matter how hard I tried to like it.

Parts of this book were really fun to read, others not so much.
Taylor and I seem to have a lot of similar ideas about people and how much they suck.
His personal anecdotes are funny and sometimes insightful.
The real downside I had with the book was actually brought up in the book. He had a hard time filling pages to make his page count. Each chapter is exactly 22 pages long, which lead to a lot of repetitive rambling and very general angst. No matter how much I agree with him, there are only so many times I can read that people suck and are dumb before it gets old.
