Russell Brand ~ My Booky Wook

Posted in Fiction  by Richard on May 27th, 2008

Russell Brand

I’m not a fan of biographies in general. They are often just half truths at best.

My Booky Wook is the exception to this rule. It is a great read, charting the up and downs (lots) of Russell Brand life to date. At times both funny and sad. It is a wonderfully written book full of creative language. I’ve not seen a lot of him on T.V. so had little idea of who or what he is, so it was refreshing to read such an inventive autobiography.

Synopsis
‘My life is a series of embarrassing incidents strung together by telling people about those embarrassing incidents.’Russell Brand’s scandalous reminiscences were always going to have a literary flavour. But nothing you’ve heard him say on stage, radio or TV can prepare you for the impact of this beautifully written memoir. From his troubled childhood in Essex and his addictions to drink, drugs and sex, to his giddy rise through the world of entertainment, this is not simply a story of fame but of redemption, achingly and hilariously honest throughout.
