1.0 out of 5 stars Funny Man: terrible biography, 6 Feb 2007
By 
Mr. D. M. Ellingworth (Glossop) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Ricky Gervais: The Story So Far (Hardcover)
Biographies that are written from a collection of tabloid journalism are the bane of my life. Ricky Gervais is a funny man, with a not terribly interesting 'back-story'. I wouldn't call myself, by any manner or means, a particularly 'dedicated' fan, but there was nothing in this book that I didn't know, other than spurious supposition on the author's part. As you read this, you think "OK... thats The Office bit, now on to Extras". I class this book along with biographies by Alison Bowyer of Dawn French and Graham Norton - I would swear that the authors have simply contacted a cuttings agency for stories on their subject and placed a gloss over them. Interviews cited are almost always from other sources. Nice work if you can get it, but I cannot recommend this in the slightest.

2.0 out of 5 stars Interesting to point but ultimatley unsatisfying, 29 July 2009
By 
Mr. J. P. Orbell "J.P.Orbell" (Peterborough, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Ricky Gervais: The Story So Far (Hardcover)
The story so far is obviously now a little dated since its mid-decade publication but it is still quite an interesting account of Ricky's life up to that point. That is, it's interesting if you don't know much about the man other than he was that guy in 'The Office'.

This is a bit of a let down if you are a real fan as you don't feel that the author has spoken with anyone involved with Ricky's career whatsoever. All the research could've been conducted from home using the Internet.

I was yearning for an exclusive quote from someone but everything was reproduced (with careful, yet tedious, acknowledgement) from other sources. That's OK if you are writing as a fan in a magazine article but this feels overblown and stretches itself beyond breaking.

If you can pick this up for a couple of quid and are only interested in The Office this might be worth a punt but if you want to know more about Gervais as a person, don't bother - all you'll find is the public face.

By 
H. Scheckter "Hugo" (Laverstoke, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Ricky Gervais: The Story So Far (Hardcover)
Being a huge fan of Gervais, I bought this book and enjoyed it immensly. I found out facts that I never knew about him.

I would reccomend to most people.
