Advantages: Great read

Disadvantages: Not for the prudish

This is Frank Skinner's autobiography. Now, I've read a few celebrity autobiographies, most of them not written by the person in question and most not really saying much at all. This is the opposite. It's clearly been written by the man himself and it is so honest and revealing, that you wonder how he still goes out in public. Some of the things he talks about - his encounter with a prostitute for example - are not the usual standard fare and the details are excruciating.

Frank didn't become famous until he was into his thirties, so much of the book is before this period, but instead of being dull, it is actually really good and really funny. He places short moments of his famous life throughout the non-famous section too, if you like to get to that bit quickly.

Even if you don't like Frank (and I admit I do) then this is well worth a read. It's only a few quid - one of the best books I've ever read and definitely the best autobiography.

Summary: A great read by Frank
