I picked this book up at London City Airport and I must say, i don't but books buy books that often, i was so keen to buy this.

In this ...  Read the complete review

This is the memoir of the hugely successful comedian Michael McIntyre. Now I have a bit of a confession, I started reading this book a while back but I do get distracted when reading books - now this happens with every type of book I read and it can take me some time to get through them. Now with this one did what everybody ...  Read the complete review

Introduction: I must start this review by saying that up until about 6 months ago I didn't like Michael McIntyre. At all. Loathed him in fact as I found him just *too* annoying. Fast forward to the beginning of the new series of Britain's Got Talent airing and on discovering that McIntyre was due to be one of the ...  Read the complete review

I've been going through a bit of a rough patch, and there is nothing I find more uplifting than reading. Whilst browsing at a local book shop, I noticed this paperback book, Life and Laughing, for a bargain price of £4.50, and thought it would bring a bit of laughter. I wasn't wrong. I am not a huge Michael McIntyre fan, but I ...  Read the complete review

Despite previously not being a hugh Mcintyre fan, this book has undoubtedly converted me! From the very first page in the book a smirk had canvased my face! He provides his life story in a unique and clever manner, managing to combine elements of his TV personality(that so often graces screens across the country) with a very close, ...  Read the complete review

Everybody loves a good laugh, and Michael McIntyre is a national treasure. Also, everybody seems to love a good 'celeb' autobiography - these days you only need be in the spotlight for a few months before your rags-to-riches life story adorns every bookshop's shelves. That's why, when I realised that Michael McIntyre hadn't released a ...  Read the complete review

I have always enjoyed watching Michael McIntyre perform; he is just so funny and has such a good stage presence. I find myself literally nearly wetting myself with laughter when I watch him and so when I saw that he had a book out, I was quite keen to read it. However as I don't like hardback books, I waited until it was finally released ...  Read the complete review

Michael McIntyre is a funny man, this comes across when he is onstage, what also comes across is that he is pretty inoffensive, in many ways you could almost consider him a bland, slightly flacid alternative to more in your face UK comedy acts. This book is a great introduction to the man and does give you much more ...  Read the complete review

I used to read loads....but then I had kids and somehow I seem to have stopped. Partly due to lack of time, partly due to my brain cells having got up and left during pregnancy and never returned but mainly because I'm now out the habit. Now and again however I do remember to pick up a book and once in a while I even manage to finish ...  Read the complete review

This is a review of the 2010 book 'Life and Laughing' by comedian Michael McIntyre. I enjoy watching him whenever he is on TV and picked up his book at christmas time. The back cover of the dust jacket sold the book to me: a baby picture of Michael looking quite foreign and the words 'A midwife asked my mother if my father was Chinese or ...  Read the complete review

This book has managed to pick me up when I'm feeling the most down I've ever been and not just because of his fantastic wit but from the shear hard work and determination of the man. I was laughing from the first page, his life has been a rollercoaster of high living right down to poverty. Having experienced unemployment myself ...  Read the complete review

I recieved Michael's McIntyres first autobiography 'Life and Laughing' for my birthday last month, and think it's a fantastic book. I read it within a day and a half of starting it and was constantly laughing out loud, as well as even crying at one part.

I don't often go for these types of book's, I am more of a crime fiction kinda gal, however, I love Michael MacIntyre so I gave this a try and man! am I glad I did. I laughed so much, I never thought it possible to actually laugh out loud at something you read. The best part of reading this book is that you can actually hear him ...  Read the complete review

Michael Mc Intyre is a comedian that divides opinion. He is unashamedly middle class and his popularity is such that inverse snobbery is often the norm. As a nation we seemingly don't like admitting to liking somebody that has appealed to a mass audience. However, I have no such qualms. I am a huge fan of his style of observational ...  Read the complete review

Michael Mcintyre makes me laugh. It's as simple as that. I only have to take one look at him and I find myself giggling at his funny posh voice and his mannerisms. Therefore, I was most pleased to hear that he had brought out an autobiography. I love this genre of book and wrote it on my Christmas list as my husband needs a list in order ...  Read the complete review

Michael McIntyre is one of my favourite comedians at the moment I think his quick wit and one linears are hilaious so I was really pleased when I spotted his autobiography whilst out shopping for my Christmas presents with my dad it was soon in the trolley. The rrp on the book is a whooping £20 but good old Asda were selling it for £9 it ...  Read the complete review
