Screech's Book Hits Stores September 29th

Tell all books usually disappoint. Even a book like the one from Kathleen Turner disappoints if you think about it. There were hundreds of pages in the book but only about four or five really juicy things in it. I have big hopes for Dustin Diamond's book though. The reason for my hope is that he has nothing to lose. The only way a book publisher was going to be interested in a washed up tween star was if he wrote things which are incredibly juicy and make you want to actually buy a copy and not sit in Borders and skim through it for the good parts.

The cast of Saved By The Bell have previously said they didn't do anything worth writing about in a book. The original publisher who has since dropped out of the process promised "sexual escapades among cast members, drug use, and hardcore partying." Now that is a book.

The last book I remember from someone who had nothing to lose and who everyone hated was Jose Canseco's book. Jose was a baseball player who used steroids to succeed and had become a pariah and was broke. So, what he did in his book was name lots and lots of names most of which proved to be true. It didn't change the fact that Jose was an ass but it made for good reading. This book of Dustin's isn't going to make anyone like him but at this point I think he is beyond that and just wants the money and attention.
