Advantages: Really funny, like one long stand up gig

Disadvantages: Bad Language, May offend

If you are easily offended then do not read this book. From the first page to the last it is full of sex.

It was my birthday recently and knowing that I love this bloke to bits,it was given to me as a present. I am a bit of a ladette, I love football,which is Franks greatest passion, next to sex that is!

I read a lot of autobiographys, but this is different to what I am used to. Normaly the Author starts and the beginning of his/her life and works up to present day.But Frank is always here and now, and kind of looks back for a few paragraphs and then talks about the actual day, the day he writing a particular part of the book.

Really it's one long stand up gig, but in written form, which is in my opinion his coping mechanism, a little like myself, he finds something funny to say in the sadest of moments, of which he has his fair share.

He made me feel like I was a good mate of his (I wish!), it's like he is opening up to you, sharing private and sad moments.

He talks about his passion of football a lot, his upbringing as a catholic, his alcohol addiction, the loves of his life, and his long road to becoming a famous.You really will be suprised at what he has gone through in his 44 years of life.

He still cannot believe he is famous, it's all like a huge dream come true to him, he does'nt come accross as a show off when he talks about all the stars he mixes with, most of them he has spent his life looking up to them.

On every single page of the book there is talk of his sex life, he shoots right from the hip about his sexual prefrences, and I don't even know if I am allowed to say this, but, the words 'Blow Job', 'anal sex'and 'wanking', are as frequent in the book as the word ,'The'.Along with some REALLY strong language.

So, if these offend you, forget it. Frank,(born Chris Colins, how wierd does that sound!?)is a 'Lad, he is a mans man,
and why, god only knows, he is just so sexy. I have got a thing about him, and despite some of the things he talks about, that I wish he had'nt, to be honest,I still feel the same way about him as I did before I read his book.
The only difference now, is that I feel I know Frank inside out and back to front.




I don't want to tell you too much, I really don't want to spoil a second of it for you.
If you like Frank Skinner, any of his t.v. shows, then you will love the book. It is full of laughs, all mixed in with some really sad moments,just when you think he has come over all serious, there will be one word, one line that will crease you up.

The booked was published by Centuary,(www.randomhouse.co.uk) and my hard back copy cost £16.99 and even though I did'nt pay
for the book myself, it is worth every single penny. It's the funniest thing I have read.
