Funny, hilarious, witty and unforgettable. I liked the part where he went out into his back garden when he first knew how to scream. He would go to the end of the garden and shout out load. He did this for many days and the neighbour came over to his house and said to his parents have you heard the ...

Honest and witty. For a modern biography this is actually quite a good effort, in terms of style and reader involvement. The first half of the book is written well and runs around giving snippets of Frank from his childhood, mischievous youth, and finding his feet in the joyous world of the working ...

Frank Skinner's biography is probably the funniest, saddest, nicest, sickest and most honest sounding biography I have ever read.

Not wanting to follow the usual protocol of 'my life stories', Frank Skinner simply played mix and match with events throughout his life, and it all came together nice ...

As a rule I hardly ever read autobiographies. I made an exception for this book and I am glad I did. Well written, shockingly truthful but masterfully written with cleaver humour to dilute his more outrageous revelations. I like Frank Skinner at the end of this book. I liked his honour, especially ...

Skinner's autobiography is replete with anecdotes ranging from hilarious to heart wrenching. His style is definitely unique, crafted seemingly out of frustration with all the predictable, chronologically structured autobiographies he himself has encountered. It would be fair to assume that an autobi ...

Absolutley awesome. Skinner tells his life story as it was, no points left out, no stone left unturned as it were. A very honest account of the highs and lows in Skinners life. One of those books you can read over and over and over again.

I loved Frank before i even read his book but now i am besotted by him, this book had me in fits of laughter and it had me gripped from the 1st sentence. He portrays himself very well in this without leaving out any gory sad and pathetic bits. I've read it five times since i had it thats how good ...

FRANK SKINNER by FRANK SKINNER is a fantastic, funny read.
My girlfriend bought it me for christmas and by boxing day, I'd finished it. I wish I could just send him an email and let him know how much this book made me laugh. It's a real shame people can't write sequels to autobiographies!

Buy this book, it is by far the funiest thing I have read since Spike Milligans recolections of his encounters in the second world war.
There is a great contrast between comedy and tragedy in this book. Frank tells all about his previous alcohol problems and the break up of his relationship whilst ...

I bought Frank Skinners autobiography purely because it was one of a select few books that would happily fit in my coat pocket when I am on the tube in the mornings. It was a toss up between this and Kylie's, and although (with no disrespect to Frank) Kylie's photos were more appealing, I just wante ...
