Constant Nerdgasms: The Book

>> No.2441646

If The Big Bang Theory were a book, this would pretty much be it. Instead of a laugh track you can almost here the author patting himself on the back at this unoriginal and poorly written excuse for a book.

I think people are entitled to their INFORMED Opinion. I read it, or at least tried to do so. I came away thinking it was a piece of crap.
Also the guy who wrote Ready Player One, also wrote a draft to the movie which was thrown out and is currently being re-written.
