Dealing to Giddy for the last year almost he has been going on about this book the whole time so i fought i had actually already knew what was in the book but thankfully to my surprise there is a lot that is hidden by giddy that not a lot of people that haven't known him for long would not have known, even if i didn't actually know the gid i would of found this book a book that i was not able to put down i actually read it within 2 days and that was working as well the book is filled with Giddy colour life and it is defo a book that you should buy even if you ain't a poker fan as it also shows the real east end.

It was a great read, I wish he went into more detail about certain things but I would defiantly recommend it.

Well I can beat the guy who read it over two days, fitting it in around his work... I thought I would have a nice relaxing bath while I started the book. Well I was so hooked, I didn't get OUT of the bath until I finished it!!! My only complaint was that it was not long enough. I presume and hope there is a Further Adventures of Giddy in the pipeline...

Anyone looking for a good book to read, try out this book, didn't put it down til I had it read from start to finish, what an amazing life this guy has had, Legend imo. Just wish it had been longer as I could honestly read about this great mans life forever.

I thought that some of the chapters should have been longer. The book was very good and very funny at times.
If you know Giddy then you can relate to the great sense of humor he has.... well done highly recommended.
