Good Points: pure genius observational comedy
takes me back to when i was a kid
more more more

Bad Points: sometimes i do find his humour a little too clean but then i do like a bit of smut .

General comments: its as if he was the kid next door when you were growing up and all the observations you can relate to.
i to was a kid from the rola cola era and listening to him reminds me of what we had , a much simpler way of life.
i read it on the bus to drown out all the rubbish music kids play these days (oh god i sound like me nan ) and when i read chapter the holy white triangle i could not keep my laughter in .
my journey is never long enough for me to finish a chapter so i am still reading and loving it .

I found Peter Kay's autobiography "The Sound Of Laughter" to be a brilliant read. It was entertaining and funny. I Just couldn't put it down! I could hear him speaking as I read.

I got this book as a birthday present on Tuesday so it has to get 10/10 for value for money.

An interesting read, with deep insight into everyday life. More suitable for the older audience who can relate to the era of Peter's childhood, as they can reminisce about the bygone days. However, a younger audience wanting a colourful history of his modern work such as Max & Paddy and Phoenix Nights could be disappointed with the Peter Kay Sound of Laughter autobiography.

Peter Kay the Sound of Laughter is the latest Christmas Cash-In from this comedy icon. While I like Kay and most of his work, I can't help but feel a slightly bitter taste in my mouth with regards to this book. This is because it only charts Peter's pre-success days and while he regales stories of his childhood and part time jobs with some style, one has to wonder if we would have been better served with a proper autobiography which talks about his life after he found the limelight. Any other au ...
