Ryan Higa's How to Write Good
K**L
Funny with humanity and wit.
I finished this book in one go. Or almost one go, I had to sleep in between, it was almost midnight. I liked the lessons interleaved with a story I feel like I can relate to (even though I'm a tall white guy living in Finland). Maybe sympathize with is a better way to say it. In any case Ryan and his super-secret ghost writer have witty diaglogue, taught me some good lessons about writing and managed to get Ryan's persona out on the page to tell a compelling story. Worth the read!

Great Book That Shows Ryan Higa Is A Comedy Genius
I am half way through the book but yet again, Ryan Higa blows me away with how talented he is when it comes to comedy. After years of being on Youtube, he is one of the few long running Youttubers who remain consistent and funny. I was pleasantly surprised after reading some of the book, that he and his ghost writer really nail his comedic sense in the book.Unlike on his Youtube channel, Ryan shares parts of his past and it gets a little dark but that was intentional so it could be inspiring for others who may be in the same place in their life. This book does a fantastic job balancing some darker tones and comedic ones. Ryan Higa has always been good with that and he is still good at it even when it comes to his personal life.Overall, great book worth a read whether or not you are a fan of his and want a sarcastic and witty book to make you laugh. If he ever decides to make another book, I'll buy it in a heart beat.

Worth More Than a Sham WoOHOo
I can't even say anything but wow. I wish I could go on the tour to get it signed, but just... wow. I've watched Ryan since before '09 and Agents of Secret Stuff and I just love knowing what he was like before he got into all the YouTube stuff. It's like coming to know an old friend even better. (Even if the friend in question has no clue who you are or anything about you... it's still nice) It's not a conventional book, but it's really a good read and I enjoyed it. Also, read the heads. I didn't notice them until chapter three... but holy cow. Ryan Higa and ghost writer... this was beautiful. I give it 5 big bouncy inflatable green balls, and half a Will face.

You're just great.
I've been a fan of nigahiga for the longest time, and I remember showing his videos to my friends back when I was in middle school (which was about 9-10 years ago). I sound like a mother hen saying this but I was proud to see an official published book from Ryan. Not only was it sincere and funny, this book showed the struggle and passion that young kids can have which adults usually forget about. It brought back feelings and memories that even I couldn't remember as an adult now. Thank you for this book and sharing your story!

Creative, different and inspiring. Ryan Higa for you all
He is unique and really funny. He manage to keep you reading and have a lot of fun with it even thought he never wrote a book before. And with it he also teaches you how to write a book too even if you feel like you couldn't. He's the best tbh. I've been following his videos for a while and they inspire me a lot for how creative he is. Also he was really sweet to talk about the ghost writer that is helping him with the book and include funny illustrations telling about how she helped. It's really worth a read.

Good
It is a fun book to read if you follow Ryan Higa. It gives insight of his childhood experiences and his thoughts.

Great for the NigaHiga fans!
Started watching Ryan about 10 years ago on YouTube... and recently my teenage daughter started watching him too. She's obsessed with him and after taking her to meet Ryan at the Las Vegas film premiere of "Gook", I thought this would be a nice gift for her. She loves it... now if he can just come out with a "how to read good" book. LOL JK! ;)

Must Read.
I always thought Ryan Higa was a funny guy. When I was sad, turning on a couple of his videos completely brightened my day. Reading about his story definitely has helped me and inspired me. This is a must read. Heck, you should read it if you've never seen his videos before. It's a story you'll never forget.

I love this book and Ryan. I feel for you.
I was bullied at my high school and primary for being different. I'm a brown skinned Muslim girl and I was picked on for being different. I was also in a position where I wanted things to change but I couldn't do anything to stop it. I was too weak to everyone. Ryan, I feel for you man. College is only where I got respect. Love you Ryan. Keep being you.

Such a good book
Brought it for a friend so I only read the first page but seems like Ryan's humour is carried across well. Very good quality hardback, pages are nice and shiny, not flimsy at all.
