Russell Brand manages to captivate the reader with his exceptional mixture of heart-warming tales about his youth, along with the genuine silliness of his character and humorous anecdotes that set him well aside from all other comedians.
The now well known comedy personality speaks of his life (or ’series of embarrassing incidents’ as he puts it!) in a witty and whimsical fashion that is so endearing that it makes this autobiography one of the best that I have read, utterly un-put-downable!
Brand is able to tell the fascinating renditions of his childhood in such a way that it’ll have you belly-laughing from start to finish, not only does he have us glued to the page with engrossing stories of drugs and ultimate self-indulgence he also takes us zooming back to our own juvenescence with his illustrious childish language, if he wasn’t receiving acclamation for such a fantastic book then he would have to be praised for being able to name an adults autobiography ‘My Booky Wook’ without a single ounce of shame.
Brand has the outstanding ability to keep you mezmerised with the way in which he can make any situation comical, “The intention was to film with James for a one-week period, but the reality was that after two days he decided that he preferred being homeless to living with me.”
His sensational wit makes even the most sordid confessions of his life during drug, alcohol and sex addiction laughable, there is not a page in the entire ‘booky wook’ which wont have you giggling.
From an early age Brand began to delve into the world of drugs and alcohol and soon he was introduced by his father to prostitutes after a holiday in the Far-East, shortly after he developed a dependence on all three, his autobiography describes jaw-dropping accounts of indiscretion, which although shocking are still told in way that can’t help but leave a smile on your face.
Albeit held-back by moments of infantile escapades and reckless self-destruction, Brand remained able to search for fame time and time again, resulting in the success of his present career, this story of his life up til now is all told in the most riveting way, there is never a dull moment with this comic genius!
