Being a Roy Chubby Brown fan for many years, I love this book. It is the story of how a comic genius came to be, from his roller coaster childhood and harsh upbringing, to stints in borstal and the Merchant Navy and his battle with throat cancer, this book is heartwarming in places and outrageously funny in others. I recommend this to all fans of comedy and dark humour. Even if you are not a RCB fan, I think you will enjoy this autobiography.
A quality autobiography by a class act. Read this if you have a sense of humour. Read it even if you don't, you might learn something! Thought-provoking and informative too, you can't go wrong.
I bought this to read when I went on holiday last year. If you like autobiographies this is an easy and enjoyable read about the life and times of Britain's bluest comedian.
An honest and frank life story no skeletons held back, fab book and thoroughly enjoyed it
