iamfoundinbooks's review against another edition

What a fabulous autobiography! I loved it so much. The honesty, the joking matter he delivers his life's best and worst moments is incredible.
I loved how human he appears in this, how his autobiography recounts all the important (and not so important) details of his life without a bigger message.
I'm a big fan of biographies and autobiographies alike, but how do all these people get to experience some profound revelation just from reaching stardom and then having lots of sex and doing drugs (sometimes not in that order).
Sometimes I'd just like to read about the craziness of ones life without the story ending in some extraordinary conclusion that ties it all together. Sometimes stuff that happens in your life doesn't lead to a big finale. Not everything has to have a bigger meaning.
Sometimes you have to talk about a kitten named Puppy that likes books and is immensely adored by your parents. And let them wonder about the rest.

Sadly I didn’t laugh once which was disappointing as I find him quite funny on the TV. Adult life was a stream of sex in parks, toilets, clubs and flats. All very alien and shallow leading him to depression and loneliness. Too much anal warts and not enough emotion in the book.

A great read. Julian holds no punches - he tells it as it was. This is a sometimes painful sometimes amusing tale of life and loves, as well as the obligatory puns, quips and lashings of sexual encounters with just short of too much detail! Thoroughly enjoyed it.
