Rhett & Link's Book of Mythicality: A Field Guide to Curiosity, Creativity, and Tomfoolery by Link Neal, Rhett McLaughlin

3.0

If you're a diehard fan of Good Mythical Morning, as well as Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal's other endeavors, then please, by all means snap up a copy of this book. It's pretty heavy, so if you wrap it up in a reusable shopping bag, you'll only need to add one and a half standard-sized construction bricks to give it enough heft to knock out a wandering vagrant, should the need arise. As a book, it is perhaps even more dense than as a weapon. There is a lot of information here, framed as life advice. I have a suspicion this is to deter civilians from one-shotting the memoir in the aisles of their local Target.

When I go about reading entertainers' memoirs, I'm usually looking for more behind-the-scenes and rise-to-fame anecdotes (obviously to take notes so I can follow suit and get some freaking money for once). In this regard, I found the Book of Mythicality severely lacking. According to it, I'm already sufficiently mythical anyway. I can't guarantee that this book will make you more mythical, personally. If you've been watching Rhett and Link for years, then you've probably got a head start on it, and if you have no idea who these guys are and stumbled upon this book by accident when a hostile aggressor (such as myself) whacked you with it to avoid being mugged, then you might just be confused and mildly concussed. It may be that the book is geared more towards a younger audience being pressured by their peers to be average or something, and if that's the case, then it's a good thing it exists.

If you have a Mythical Beast in your life, definitely get them this book, but make sure none of their other well-meaning friends and relatives have already purchased it for them beforehand. That would be extremely awkward. I'd say it's worth a read on its own.
