My Booky Wook (UK Ed.) reviews

If you love Russell Brand, you'll love this book! I cn't wait to read the next one!

Hilarious from cover to cover! Brands' life story is as outrageous and funny as his stand-up comedy content. Though some of the stories he tells in ‘My Booky Wook’ could have been classed as quite sad situations, he puts an intensely funny spin on everything, and leaves you laughing at things you have to ask yourself, ‘is it wrong that I'm finding this humorous?’. Such a fantastic read I was hoping and waiting for a ‘My Booky Wook 2’ from the minute I turned the last page.

‘Candid, funny and moving.’ – Sun ‘How in God's name did the publishers ever get him to sit down and write the bloody thing? Because make no mistake – unlike most celebrity biogs, MY BOOKY WOOK has definitely been written by Brand.’ – London Lite ‘Part funny, but part hugely disturbing …’ – Grazia ‘The most talented stand-up comedian to emerge in Britain this decade, Brand combines Eddie Izzard's rare ability to carry a whole crowd along on an audacious flight of comic fancy with the carnal magnetism of the young George Best. Audiences leave a Brand performance not just entertained but actively debauched by his catalogue of erotic misadventure.’ – Daily Telegraph ‘To his expanding CV can now be added a scandalous, libidinous memoir that is better written and more entertaining than any number of the celebrity autobiographies that clog the shelves of bookshops.’ – Observer 'The Russell Brand of MY BOOKY WOOK is surprisingly approachable. The comedian's playful love of language is evident from his occasional lapse into obscure or archaic words, and sits well with his penchant for childishness… Inevitably, the main point of interest is Brand's addictions, drugs and sex, about which he writes with unexpected affability.

Brought this for my mate turning 21, he liked it.

I really enjoyed reading this book. If you love biographys this is a great book. You'll get to understand Russell Brand alot more. With laughs and Russell's inte­resting life it is hard to put this book down!

Russell Brand is amazing, I would recommend this book to everyone!!! Bring on My Booky Wook 2!!!

Everything you would expect from a book written by Russell Brand. You can definitely tell that it is written by him with same excellent vocabulary and sense of humor. Good read, he has a great history.

This is one of the funniest, most entertaining books I have read in a long time, Russell doesn't mince words, whether it's telling the reader what taking heroin actually feels like or talking about one of his many sexual escapades he says it an honest and sincere fashion.

There are moments in the book which are quite sad but mixed in with these heartbreaking stories are hilarious anecdotes that will make the reader laugh out loud. Highly recommended to any fan of Russell Brands or comedy in general.

russell Brand, a fairly new stand-up comedian here in the U.S. hailing from merry old England, has written a wildly raw and unabashed memoir about his life of compulsive and destructive behaviors with sex and drugs and his tumultuous career as an actor and comedian. His life starts off fairly unceremoniously and “normal”, his parents divorce when he is young. Readers then find Russell breaking the rules in school, and getting kicked out of school after school, despite doing quite well in some of them. This behavior continues on through adulthood with his inability to keep any sort of job, all the while partaking in a plethora of drugs and mindless sex.

Luckily for fans of Russell Brand, this book is not merely a tale of his uncivilized and raucous days living in England getting thrown out of numerous institutions, doing drugs and having sex. Russell comes clean and is rather forthright in writing about how he managed to get help for not only his drug addiction, but his addiction to sex as well, and how he managed to get his life straightened out in order to become one of England's (and recently America's) funniest, strangest comedians.

Although some of Mr. Brand's writing style and references to countless television shows or his use of English humor may present a slight difficulty for the American reader who is unfamiliar with these particular references, his humor begins with a strong force and continues to happily take the readers throughout the entire book, never ceasing until the very end.
