Miranda ROCKS this book! Not for HATERS!
Oh my GOSH this book is TERRIFIC! I only met Miranda a few weeks ago, but ever since I go on youtube at least every couple days, because she's ALWAYS good for laughs and she makes my day! This book is almost as good! It's longer than I thought it would be, which is good! I didn't read straight thru it, but read different portions and I was totally hooping and hollering; this stuff is SO funny, just like the videos! I think ALL Mirfanduhs will LOVE this book! I thought it was kind of expensive, but since I have gotten it, I don't feel that way anymore; it was worth every penny! Now if I'm ever down, I can just grab this book and get cheered up! I would not take it to work though. From the loud way I was screeching and laughing at the book, I think they would look at me really weird at work! I would have to do like Miranda says in the book. Change the screen really quick to porn, because it's easier to explain!I don't know as I would recommend this book for people who do not watch Miranda. BUT! If you don't watch her, you should check out a couple videos of hers every day for a week or so, and see if she grows on you like she did on me. (The first two times I didn't think she was funny, but after that I started wanting to see some of her videos every day!) Once you watch her for a little while, if you like her, then you could order the book and really appreciate it.Colleen, you rock, chick!

Know Miranda, know your child, skim it first.
I read all the negative reviews AFTER I got the book. I agree with a few things; Miranda's videos are much better, but if you're a big Mirfanda you'll have fun with the book. As for the complaints about spelnig errreors etc. Really? The book patterned after Miranda's unique take on her own language, obviously some folks are not familiar with Miranda sings and therefor should not shoot her down for this.As for the book being inappropriate? I agree fully there are a few sections/pages that should have been omitted entirely considering the target audience is pre-teens, specifically the 4 pages on puberty which begin on page-60 (they come with a warning, but it's hard to take seriously because nothing is serious in this book).This crass stuff should have been left out, as should the page on wiping (page-155). Pages 60 thru 63 deal with porn as only Miranda can, and I agree it is not a good fit for those who have kids too young or at a level to deal with this topic, although it's handled in true Miranda style. If the age and level of awareness are right, it is very funny.These valid points stole the 5th star.You will enjoy the rest of it if you are a true Mirfanda. I recommend skimming it first!10/23/15 Update: Finally got around to giving my daughter this book (note, she's 14 1/2). She does a very very good impression of Miranda Sings, she's reading the book in her Miranda Sings voice and I am rolling on the floor! Just a hint if you really want to ramp up the fun.

My daughter loved it!!!!
My daughter really wanted this book. She loves YouTube and watches this character all the time so I was familiar with her before buying the book.It's funny. Maybe not exactly "my" idea of funny but my daughter loved it and read it cover to cover the first day and has picked it back up every night to read again. Even I laughed a few times at the characters over the top anticsI read some of the one star reviews and read where some people said this book is too old for their child. Only you can decide what your child can and cannot watch or read. I'm extremely open with my child. Everything she asks me , I answer. I had no problem with ANYTHING in the book. It's obviously satire, which my child is smart enough to get. I saw it mention nothing that my child doesn't know about or I'd feel uncomfortable with her reading about.It's funny and silly and my little girl likes it. She's reading which is great. There is some interactive components in the book which is awesome. You can also access special videos by scanning a code with your phone to open it up. That was cool I thought.All in all, it was a good book that my eleven year old little girl loved.

This book is complete genius!
I am an incredibly active Colleen Ballinger (Evans)/Miranda Sings supporter, and (to me) all of her work is complete and utter genius. I'm not claiming to be a "book critic" by any means, but Selp-Helf is, by far, the best piece of work Colleen has ever produced for us.Even when you're just a few pages in, you know how much intense and incredible work her and her brother, Chris, had put into making this book. You can see by the way it's formatted how much labor actually went into making each individual page. They added such hilarious information that, if you watch Miranda's YouTube videos, you'd know would come out of her mouth/mind. There is no part in the book where you're not crying of laughter. I think the funniest part of the book (which real book critics would consider a literature sin) is the numerous amount of typos. I feel the typos make you have to think a little bit more than you would reading a regular novel, which makes the book seem longer than it is.I have no doubt that this book will be a best seller. With her enormous YouTube/social media fanbase, I know Colleen will sell thousands of copies of Selp-Helf. I'm beyond proud of how far she's come in her amazing career, and her life is just getting started.

Funny book....NOT for Kids!
I bought this book for my sister as a Christmas present. Little did I know some of the content included in the book was a bit too vulgar for her age. The book itself is meant to be a humorously written guide to becoming a successful "nobody", and for the most part is funny, intriguing, and juvenile. However, there are multiple grammatical errors that are purposely placed by the author and I am quite afraid that these will catch on to the young reader. Also, I am not content with some of the material that is presented. For example, as previously stated in another review "Pages 60 through 63 deal with porn", and obviously, this is NOT for the average pre-teen girl. All-in-all, it's a good and funny book, but buyers beware this isn't for a , <15-16 year old!
