Publisher's summary

When I was a kid, my dad brought home a one-fourth-inch reel-to-reel tape recorder from work - positively state-of-the-art in 1967. With brothers Mike and Don, I recorded epic WWII battles and adventures on the moon (eerie moon effects made possible by a fancy "echo" knob). Playing the recordings back for anyone who would listen, I reveled in how simple recording tricks - like crinkling paper to simulate the sound of fire - could fool an audience.

Audio is a unique medium because it invites listeners to become a part of the process, to interpret what they hear, however they'd like, whereas motion pictures leave no such room for input.

When high school rolled around, my pal Sam Raimi and I both shared the same radio speech class, which led to a morning radio show on Fridays, during homeroom. It was a great opportunity to explore the medium more seriously - this time with sounds effects from professional libraries, and music that even came in on cue! Although clunky and amateurish, the experience hooked me on audio forever.

With the completion of this book, the prospects of doing a "regular" audio adaptation weren't very appealing. But then a few things dawned on me: First, that I'm the lead character of the book; second, as an actor by trade, I could play the part; and third, I'm knee-deep in actor pals - why not record the book like a radio play?

So that's exactly what happened.

I rounded up an excellent troupe of thespians, from both Los Angeles and my home state of Oregon, and we recorded what was to become an unabridged, six-hour epic program.

I hope you enjoy Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way - and thanks for listening!

A MUST HAVE!!

This is pure entertainment the Bruce Campbell way! Gonna listen to this occasionally and It’s a classic

Hidden Gem

I wasn't sure what to expect from this book, but I like Bruce Campbell so I gave it a try. I must say this book is a hidden gem and I'm surprised there aren't more reviews/ratings for this. The story was never predictable, entertaining the whole time & was an excellent performance. Bruce is an excellent narrator and I hope he does more audiobooks in the future.

What audiobooks should be like!!!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook. Most of the others that I listen to are nonfiction so you wouldn't expect sound effects. The problem starts when that monotone manner of delivering information transfers to fiction. I don't want to hear a book that's just some guy talking. I want to hear ambient sound, background noise fleshing out the scene, different voices for different characters, etc... This book did all that for me, with the added benefit of being narrated by Campbell. I was happy to hear "If Chins Could Kill" but I was outright cracking up with this one. Definitely recommend this to anyone who was to sit back, relax, and enjoy a story where everything actually happened, except for the stuff that didn't.

5 out of 5

I’m so glad this is finally available here. I love everything about this audio book. If you’re a Campbell fan you’ll love it and even if you’re not the book stands on its own. It’s funny, fun, and overall a great listen.

Bruce is as savvy as ever.

Absolutely loved this book. Bruce is an audio play genius. Best I've ever heard.

Fun book

Love the way Bruce uses his vast experience as an actor to write and perform in this fun book. It was not what I was expecting, enjoyed it thoroughly!

It is what is it

Goofy/silly story..didnt ever know which way is was goin...still fun enough..Always love Bruce Campbell

Awesome, whether you're a Campbell follower or not

probably aimed at fans and followers of cult-favorite, Bruce Campbell. But even if you don't know or care who he is, this is a great listen, especially for fans of the filmmaking process. His voice is great, and all the actors are great too. I like the sound effects, it's like old time radio!

A good time to be had by all.

Great Job, Bruce!

Loved it! A great story well written and performed by Bruce Campbell. Very entertaining. This audiobook is some of Mr. Campbell’s best work. Bruce Campbell is one of my favorite actors and this work is one of the reasons why. I highly recommend it.

Entertaining

I didn't read about it before listening and found it more entertaining to think the events actually happened. It's not too far-fetched til the end. It kept me entertained while doing yard work and home maintenance. Bruce is a funny guy.
