In its one season on NBC, Freaks and Geeks drew raves from the New York Times, L.A. Times, USA Today, and dozens of other publications. When the weekly primetime reruns were broadcast on Fox Family, it became the highest rated show on that network. Many of the show's best moments come directly from Feig's experiences in high school, where he started as an awkward, oversensitive, Dungeons and Dragons-obsessed geek and ended the same way -- but happy at last with who he was.

In Kick Me, Paul Feig goes into hilarious -- and cringe-inducing -- detail about bombardment by dodge balls, ill-fated prom dates, hellish school bus rides, and other aspects of life in public school, which he calls, "the ultimate melting pot, where kids of every social stratum and psychological profile are dumped together in a cinderblock building and forced to interact." Kick Me is a nostalgic trip for the inner geek in all of us.

Industry Reviews
"It's shocking that one person could have so many humiliating experiences and even more shocking that he chose to remember them. Kick Me is like an unofficial prequel to Freaks and Geeks. If anything, Paul Feig's real stories are actually more harrowing than what his fictional characters went through." --Ira Glass, host of This American Life

"I love Paul Feig's sense of humor--in a platonic way. This book is hilarious. I recommend it to people like me. And to people who don't like me." --Garry Shandling

"Paul Feig's Kick Me is an astute study of growing up in the seventies that thinks it's a happy-go-lucky humor book."--Joel Hodgson, creator of Mystery Science Theater 3000
