ReviewsPraise for You're Making Me Hate You Examiner.com, 7/1/15 "An entertaining read." Sonic Sound Magazine , 7/7/15 "An enjoyable read that will have you nodding in agreement and chuckling at Corey's expletive-filled, but justifiable rants." Popmatters, 9/1/15 "Taylor's third book takes a critical and shameless look at the state of society...The selling point here is his grouchy, comedic take on the human condition, but the real depth comes from Taylor's keen awareness and humanity. While nobody can be the authority on people watching, in his detail Taylor comes very close. ...his power comes from his wicked smarts and observational skills he calls, "anthropological research". You're Making Me Hate You is a fun read..." Daily Eastern News , 9/3/15 "Taylor is known for fronting the bands Slipknot and Stone Sour, but in his books he gives fans a more intimate look at his personality, which differs (mostly) from his aggressive stage persona... Taylor does a good job of balancing his social critique with meaningful self-evaluation in this book... this isn't just an entire book of complaining. Taylor also makes a point to impart some of his wisdom with advice on how to live through some of the irking situations he mentioned... Taylor's tone carries a hint of smartass without overdoing it and is mostly lighthearted, though it's still guided by a grim outlook on humanity." Lithium Magazine , 11/30/15 "An in depth look at just how stupid people can be. The book radiates hate and anger in the most brilliant way possible--with humor. That's right, not only is Taylor angry, he's funny." Tampa Bay Times , 4/21/16 "[Taylor is] one of rock's most interesting Renaissance men--in addition to being, y'know, one of the best metal vocalists in the land.", Praise for You're Making Me Hate You Examiner.com, 7/1/15 "An entertaining read."

SynopsisNew York Times bestselling lead singer of Slipknot and Stone Sour's hilarious trawl through the endless backwaters of human stupidity Corey Taylor has had it. Had it with the vagaries of human behavior and life in this postmodern digital blanked-out waiting room that passes for a world. Reality TV, awful music, terrible drivers, megamalls, airports, family reunions, bad fashion choices, other people's monstrous children, and badly-behaved "adult" human beings are warping life in the twenty-first century into an often-unbearable endurance test of one's patience, fortitude, and faith. You're Making Me Hate You is a blisteringly funny diatribe that skewers the worst aspects of human behavior with a knowing eye for every excruciating detail, told in the vivid way that only Corey Taylor can. Like his previous bestselling forays, You're Making Me Hate You is an unflinching glimpse into the mind of Corey Taylor, who spares no one from his seething gaze. Make no mistake: this is not the Corey Taylor you run into at meet-and-greets or in line at the coffee shop. This is not the kind and cuddly guy who kisses babies and takes pictures with your mom while leaving a voicemail for that distant cousin in college. This is not the loveable scamp who can poke just as much fun at himself as he does at the various rubes around him, though to be fair he does save one chapter for a brutal and lacerating self-analysis. This is Corey Motherfucking Taylor. This is the Great Big Mouth. This is that bastard you wonder about when you listen to Slipknot and Stone Sour. Funny, profane, blasphemous, and above all right on target, You're Making Me Hate You is pure Corey Taylor unleashed, exposing the underbelly of human depravity in all its ragged glory., New York Times bestselling leadsinger of Slipknot and Stone Sour's hilarious trawl through the endless backwaters of human stupidity Corey Taylor has had it.

He Does It Again
Corey Taylor is a often recognized for his work as the singer of Stone Sour and Slipknot. What a lot of people don't know is his writing genius doesn't just stay with his song writing capabilities...He is a 2 time New York Times Best Selling Author and this (his 3rd book) could quite easily make him a Three Time New York Time's Best Selling author. As not only a fan of his musical expertise, I have purchased and read EVERYTHING he has written (including his comics) and I LOVE them all!!! My ONLY concern is When is book number 4 coming out?Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
