"None of this is real and all of it is true." --Jim Carrey Meet Jim Carrey. Sure, he's an insanely successful and beloved movie star drowning in wealth and privilege--but he's also lonely. Maybe past his prime. Maybe even . . . getting fat? He's tried diets, gurus, and cuddling with his military-grade Israeli guard dogs, but nothing seems to lift the cloud of emptiness and ennui. Even the sage advice of his best friend, actor and dinosaur skull collector Nicolas Cage, isn't enough to pull Carrey out of his slump. But then Jim meets Georgie: ruthless ingnue, love of his life. And with the help of auteur screenwriter Charlie Kaufman, he has a role to play in a boundary-pushing new picture that may help him uncover a whole new side to himself--finally, his Oscar vehicle! Things are looking up! But the universe has other plans.Memoirs and Misinformation is a fearless semi-autobiographical novel, a deconstruction of persona. In it, Jim Carrey and Dana Vachon have fashioned a story about acting, Hollywood, agents, celebrity, privilege, friendship, romance, addiction to relevance, fear of personal erasure, our "one big soul," Canada, and a cataclysmic ending of the world--apocalypses within and without.

Im typical Carrey fashion, this book is eccentric. At times Carrey feels brutally honest & at others you get the sense that he‘s having fun at the reader‘s expense.

I shouldn‘t have balked after the iffy reviews, because I ended up loving this. A Hollywood satire that struck me as a blend of Hunter S. Thompson and Bret Easton Ellis, very well written with carefully crafted sentences dripping with vile wit. Carrey‘s humour shines through, but it‘s purely black comedy, not slapstick. Definitely recommend it on audio—Jeff Daniels‘ slouching baritone adds just the perfect amount of underlying venom and disdain.

I was really excited when I first heard about this, but after seeing some lukewarm reviews I decided not to spend an Audible credit on it.

It‘s come up as a skip-the-line title at my library now though, so I‘ll give it a shot.

I rarely bail on a book, but I've got a TBR list of things I think I'll enjoy. The authors are trying too hard to be smart, funny, "out there". I read 4 chapters and all I could think was "quit trying so hard". I wanted to like this, I enjoy Jim Carrey, funny and serious stuff, but this was not enjoyable for me.

#79 of my year and I‘ve been dying to dig into this one. I love him so much!

Caffeinated_Reader Either I‘ve absorbed LSD through the pages of this book orrrrr Jim Carrey is a mad genius lol I especially loved how he stuck to truths about his early life and after the movie I Love You Philip Morris it kind of just unravels into chaotic dream like states. That movie was a real turning point for him and 4y
Caffeinated_Reader his life so of course the book falls into this sort of chaos when you reach this point in the memoir. After that each chapter, no matter how grandiose they got, you could still pull the real emotion and feeling of the moments from each dreamscape like telling. It was fucking nuts and freeing to lose yourself in the imaginary dreamlike alternate realities. 4y
Caffeinated_Reader Idk it was soooo Jim Carrey of an ending you kinda just gotta laugh and picture him actually doing these things hahaha I loved it. 4y

I can easily say that this is (so far) my favorite of the year. It‘s such a wonderful mix of so many things. One moment side-splitting funny, the next deeply moving. I really really enjoyed Memoirs and Misinformation. 🙌🏼💜🙌🏼
