Even though “Don’t Stand” was written in 1995, it really holds up. It was funny and entertaining, and a really quick read.
It did get a little repetitive in parts, but I’ll probably seek out his other books. Since this book was right before "Santa Clause" came out, I would like to read about his life after the movie, and the movies since then. I’ll probably pick up his other books.

This took me a while to get through! I don’t think I’m the intended target audience :)

It wasn’t worth it lollll! The only takeaway here is that his full name is Tim Allen Dick. Need I say more.

First heard of this book 15 years or so years ago when the VHS version of 'The Santa Clause' came out. There was a little advert before the movie and at the time, I didn't feel interested because at that point, I was even 10 years old yet. 15 or so years later, it had numerous funny parts that just had me laughing out loud. Some could say 'borderline chauvinistic,' but I don't think so. Really, just taking a humourous stroll down the world of men and women. Well...that is straight men and women.
Personally, sometimes I couldn't quite empathise or know where was coming from as far as tools, but even us bi men have a 'mens zone.' Apparently, for straight men, it's either a garage, a den or the loo (bathroom). Mine would just be my bedroom lol but the difference is I don't try to just have things thrown anywhere or things that could cause splinters.
As far as what he said about women, sorry, but sometimes I had to laugh because I knew EXACTLY where he was coming from. At others, I have no area of expertise to even comment.
I'm kind of tired as I write this so I'll prolly eventually add another section to this. Otherwise for now (and after the addition), 5 out of 5 stars. This is not a complete review haha.

Solid.
The book was what I expected. It was repetitive sadly. Tim is funny so I overlooked it. I wish it had pics. I prefer memoirs and bios with pics. Sad to think the wife of this book and Tim are long since divorced :( tho many passages in the book foreshadowed it.
