Firstly I'd like to point out that the book is by Russell Brand, not Russell Banks, but when I tried to add the correct product ie. Under Russell Brand, Dooyoo have sent me to write my review here so here goes. For those of you who haven't heard of Russell Brand he is a comedian/presenter with his most note able things to date probably being that he was the host of Big Brother's Big Mouth for many years, his own show Ponderland and he has been absolutely hilarious teamed up with Noel Fielding on the Big Fat Quiz of the Year. Many associate Russell Brand, merely with his trademark sayings such as "dinkle" but he is so much more than that. ...  Read the complete review

One of the Christmas presents i was most looking forward to getting was the autobiography of Russell Brand. Ingeniously entitled, "My Booky Wook". Having read numerous reviews of the book i thought this was going to be the perfect book for those cold nights. On the professional circuit the book gained mixed reviews with newspapers columnists in The Observer saying that the book "puts most other celebrity memoirs to shame" whilst Private Eye Magazine claimed the book showed that Brand was Self obsessed. The beginning of the book starts in a sex addiction clinic (cleverly named the winky nick) and immediately you know this is not ...  Read the complete review

Russell Brand is a bit of an enigma. I first saw him presenting Big Brothers Big Mouth and to be honest I turned off because I was so sick of hearing him talk about his genitalia. Then I started to see him on other programmes on channel four and he seemed to have more than one facet to his character. True, he is certainly eccentric and has a massive ego but instead of being repulsed by his crudeness and annoyed by his flamboyance I started to like him. My Booky Wook has got to be the most irritating name for a book I've ever heard. The title alone (which he used as a working title while talking about the book to his radio 2 listeners) was almost enough to put ...  Read the complete review

Today I want to review the autobiographic book "My Booky Wook" by Russell Brand. ... so who's Russell Brand? I guess most of you know Russell from TV programmes - he is a british comedian originating from London who already experienced a lot of troubles in his life before even becoming famous! He is known for a lot of things - being quite a player with the ladies, doing amazing and captivating stand up comedy in which he sometimes freaks out to some degree or even dressing up as Bin Laden for work at MTV one day after the 9-11 events. Russell became internationally famous after he moderated the MTV awards in a way that had the ...  Read the complete review

I have to be honest and say I wasn't really a fan of Russell Brand before reading this book, I thought he was crass, slightly bland and too busy putting himself about rather than working on his comedy, but having read this book I can appreciate what an articulate, intelligent guy he is and how his public persona is two fingers up to anyone who has ever messed him about, or to all the troubles he has experienced in his life. This is my kind of book, it doesn't dwell on the shallow showbiz side of things, it tells the story of one man's life, ok it hasn't been a long one so far but this is so much better than reading the bland tales of plastic ...  Read the complete review
