Sean Penn’s Bob Honey Who Just Do Stuff is a book in which people don’t just have vim or vigour, they have “spizzerinctum to spare”. Early and bad reviews of Penn’s debut novel ahead of its April release have prompted a lot of joy online. So Penn’s novel is repellent on one level, but stupid on so many others. In the grand, bleak tradition of celebrity novel writing, Penn’s is certainly neither the worst nor the best. In Bob Honey, Penn just exposes himself.
