I'm a big fan of Russell Brand and expected this book to be a great read. It's pretty well written, but I lost interest about halfway through. Mr. Brand apparently thinks every detail of his childhood, teenhood and young adulthood is fascinating; I beg to differ. If the book had been half as long and edited with an eye to moving the story along at a better pace, it would be much better.

Take a walk to get "My Booky Wook"
July 16, 2009
I'm a fairly recent fan of Russell Brand and the moment he said he'd written a book, I rushed out and BOUGHT IT! In fact, I was so delirious at the thought of its contents, based on Russell?s bizarre and adorable personality, I also bought one for my daughter?s upcoming birthday. He writes just like he talks, which makes it very easy to follow along, as he takes you step by misstep through his wonderful, scary, challenging life. If you don't know Russell, or have never heard of him, get this book! You'll know him by the time you?ve read the first couple of pages!!!! When describing him to others, I often say he could be Tiny Tim's illegitimate son (the 1960s Tiny Tim, not Dickens?) - he's THAT offbeat...but Russell is EXTRAORDINARY!!! He has been gifted by his mother and the universe with the ability to tell the truth ? and he does - - ALWAYS ? countered with a wink and a smile! He puts the fear of God in his interviewers, because they never know what he?s going to say next. Russell is a wind-up toy that remains energized 24/7! And that?s what we truly love about him!!! Welcome to STARDOM, RB!!! It?s been a short and rickety ride, but from here on out, you?ll shine! You are magic!!! And bless your sweet mum for sticking by you! You deserve everything life can throw your way, so grab it all, sweet one! Always a fan, and so is my daughter! pzazzinClovis
