Its just ok. (2/4 people found this helpful)
I love paul O'Grady and bought this book as soon as it came out, But I reccomend you don't bother. Wait untill the real autobiography comes out. Sure the book has a few laughs here and there but it is just so light weight you can find out more from an internet search. Still... At least it passed a few hours in the laundrette, thats the only reason why it gets 2 stars and not 1!
the best entertainer (12/13 people found this helpful)
what a great book about a great man - Paul O Grady is a classic entertainer. His roots are in old fashonied variety shows and even vaudeville which is why his afternoon show is such a showcase for ordinary people with a bit of guts and talent. What this book does so well is to show why Paul supports ordinary people and underdogs. His history is amazing, you can almost sense him watching the women at market stalls and magistrates courts when he put Lily Savage together. But Lily was only a stepping stone - it is clear he always wanted to be himself and give other people a chance to shine. The emotional stuff in the book is heartbreaking without being intrusive. Paul has quietly got on with life when all has been falling down around him. Just like the survivors he has always admired. what a showman.

Paul O'Grady's biography made me laugh out loud and burst into tears with each chapter.
It's been a long time since i have read a book full of such hidden emotions.
You have to purchase this book whether you like Paul or not, if you aren't fond of him, then you soon will be after reading this book.
So impressed that i've just pre-ordered his next one, At my mother's knee.
Well done to Neil Simpson for the brilliantly writen book.
I couldn't put the book down!!
This book should have a health warning on the cover:
IF YOU ARE GOING TO PUCHASE THIS BOOK, YOUR HOUSEWORK WILL SUFFER!
The world will be populated with rats due to lack of housework!!
