I think you'd have to be a real fan to enjoy this but that's not what I am giving it only three stars. It's because of all the times he seems to take a break from writing to continue writing and then asks the reader if they are bored yet. So, I took the (repeated) challenges to read to the end. Some bits were great but some just not.

Frank is one of my favourite comedians so when I saw this lurking in a charity shop I had to get it.

A snapshot into his early life, and his life 10 years ago (when it was written) this book made me laugh out loud every few pages, the slightly rambling style means there is no definite narrative story, but I think he intended it that was (or would like us to believe that!).

I just wish there was a new edition with his last 10 years in, as this is the period I know him the best, perhaps one day!

It took me a while to get into this book but once I got into the structure, I loved it. It was a little unusually presented in the fact there were no chapters, however Frank makes up for that by being funny and witty throughout, treating us as old friends.

Would definitely recommend to everyone, very funny.
