 So Me - Graham Norton
 So Me - Graham Norton ... the period of struggle before Graham Norton became famous than on a life which has become a constant round of professional encounters with celebrities. He is funny on his unsuccessful career as an actor and rather touching on the friendships that date back to the years he spent as a waiter. Under a surface of camp glibness, he is surprisingly evocative about the London of the 1980s--certain key locations of his life such as the restaurant where he worked or the slum high-rise where he lived are entirely present here. He is honest about his flaws and moving about friends who taught him to be better--for example, a commune where he lived for a year in San Francisco gets a tribute. His later life--his cult success as a comedian and his discovery that what he really was is a chat-show host--is recorded with occasional insight. He is attractively unapologetic about his taste for smut; this is who he is and what he does, and we can take it or leave it.Newest Review: ... of humour. And wow what a story! This book is cleverly written - very snappy and easy to read, it follows the story of a ... more ... young boy from a small town making his way in the big bad world.
The author has led a very interesting life and is kindly sharing his experiences with his readers who remain enthralled throughout.
A classic rise to fame story is interspersed with hilarious and heart warming anecdotes from a public figure who, although in the limelight, has managed to stay pretty private until now.
This book is super easy to read, punchy and great fun, just like the man himself as the willing reader very quickly finds out.
Brilliant, defin...more |

Having always been a fan of Graham Norton and sharing his Irish connections, I was interested to hear more about the man behind the mask of humour. And wow what a story! This book is cleverly written - very snappy and easy to read, it follows the story of a young boy from a small town making his way in the big bad world. The author has led a very interesting life and is kindly sharing his experiences with his readers who remain enthralled throughout.

A free and frank autobiography (176 words)

If you like autobiographies that are free and frank then this is the one for you. Graham writes as if he is talking to old friends, telling the stories and annecdotes of his life with great enthusiasm, never leaving out any details - even if they are slightly shocking in places. I think a lot of people will be surprised to learn that Graham did not find fame until he was in his 30s and in fact had many experiences that make him the humourous man he is today. Graham's life has been touched by great sadness, with the loss of his father as a result of a long struggle with Parkinson's. His open-style of writing, envelopes the reader into ...

So Me - Graham Norton: Not Me - But So Good (837 words)

Rating:
Every now and then I like to pick up something a little different from my standard John Grisham or Lee Child Novel. So whilst browsing through a selection of autobiographies I cam across 'So Me' the autobiography from camp comic and TV celebrity, Graham Norton. Not that Mr. Norton is what I would class as one of my favourite celebrities, but having read a few things about his past in one of the Sunday papers a while back, I thought that it may make for an enlightening change of read. Covering the period of his life from his early childhood in Ireland, to the success of his Channel 4 talk show and climaxes with his move to the BBC. Although packed with ... Read the complete review
