Advantages: Hilarious, brutally honest. Did I mention how funny it was?
Disadvantages: It had to end at some point
Many autobiographies are bland, boring and rarely delve beneath the surface of a celebrity and leave you none-the-wiser about the person, aside from a few extra anecdotes.
Nothing could be further from the truth in this book.
Frank is frank, brutally honest and holds no emotion back.
You really feel like he put a lot of care and attention into writing it.
Alongside the hilarious anecdotes are insights into his life and the trials and tribulations he has been through as an alcoholic. He hides nothing and shows far more honesty on embarrassing topics than I would care to share with anyone!
He actually goes through a break-up during the book. It starts with him going out with someone and then sometime in the middle of writing the book they split and Frank writes a little piece about. Nothing is private or held back.
But more than anything, this book is FUNNY.
You are obviously considering buying the book because you like his sense of humour. If this is the case, you will be laughing out loud very often. His timing in writing is as good as when he's on stage. Classic moments eloquently transferred to the page.
Summary: Classic Frank humour and a great insight into his life
