Frank Skinner - Frank Skinner Review

Overall Rating

A very funny enjoyable honest interesting book. One of best autobiographies I've ever read.

I got into Frank Skinner about 1994/5. I wish I had been more aware of him earlier.

In his autobiography: Frank Skinner, I enjoyed the way Frank purposely had no chapters and alternated between his early years and present. It made the book (and should be blueprint for a lot of other autobiographies) even more enjoyable and entertaining. I agreed with his reasoning to do this. At times you almost think you are in the pub listening to him personally (Frank with pepsi of course!). The book alternates between funny, hilarious, sad, moving and poignant. Like John Cleese and Laurel & Hardy, Frank Skinner always brought a smile to my face - even more so now I have read this book, which has been very revealing. And, yes, I got the 'Paul Reaney' reference - being an 'older football fan'. I nearly forgot to mention, the photo captions in the book are brilliant!
Recommended to all those of you who like comedy and are reasonably broad minded.
