I've finished reading Russell Brand's second book, "Booky Wook 2". here go my thoughts on it! Reader's appeal I read this because I really like Russell Brand. I am amazed by his style of speaking and I also love his crazy rockstar appearance! I think especially in the last year he has proven that he can do pretty much everything - from stand-up to acting and even singing. Since English is not my first language but defenitely my favourite, I am amazed by Brand in my own way. It is one thing to become fluent in a language and to be able to think in it - but the way Russell Brand is able to speak like he is made of Oscar Wilde quotes and ...  Read the complete review

Apart from the inclusion of some material lifted verbatim from Brand's stand-up shows (the only real negative I have about the book, and a surprising element considering Brand is one of our most endlessly inventive comedians), there's not much filler in Russell Brand's 'Booky Wook 2'. Following on from the popular 'My Booky Wook', 'Booky Wook 2' picks up at the beginning of Brand's rise to fame and is full of fascinating tales and anecdotes from one of Britain's hardest-living, most notorious lotharios. The book sometimes resembles an extended gossip column, or - more accurately - a collected transcript of Brand's shows and podcasts. Stories don't tend to ...  Read the complete review

I love Russell Brand I think he is hugely entertaining and witty. I think his standup comedy is excellent and he never fails to make me laugh with his observational humour. I read his first autobiography and thoroughly enjoyed reading about his life from boy to man, it was very funny and had me laughing my socks off at every turn of the page. When I saw that Russell had a second autobiography I was surprised as it had only been three years since his last release but was eager to read it. Booky Wook 2 is a biography of his more recent life and how he went from a mildly famous comic to an infamous celebrity. It tells the tales of how media shows were produced ...  Read the complete review

I'm a huge fan of Russell Brand and, after thoroughly enjoying his first autobiography, thought it was only logical I have Booky Wook 2 a try. Russell writes, once again, writes with his beautiful take on the English Language making even the most mundane of descriptions almost poetic. There is no arguments to be had about Russell's writing style, he was a wonderful technique. There is, however, some dispute, rightfully, about the actual content of the book. I'm not one of those 'delicate' people and I am certainly not easily offended. I have no problems with swearing, detailed descriptions of sexual encounters and drug abuse tales. However I do ...  Read the complete review

I've been reading a lot of celeb books recently, but I was a little bit disappointed with this one really. I like Russell Brand (he's very funny and likeable) and I really enjoyed his first book (Booky Wook), but to me this book just didn't quite live up to the first one. Admittedly the first book covered about 30 years and this one only about 2 years but they were an important two years (where he was part of the Sachs-gate saga and met his future wife Katy Perry) so I expected more. He does go into a fair amount of depth on the Sachs-gate affair and I did learn lots about the whole thing that I hadn't previously realised, and he does seem very keen ...  Read the complete review
