Product Description
Product Description
Kicked out of school at the age of fourteen, Shane Lynch didn't have a grand plan. No burning ambitions. He just took life as it came, surviving on his boyish charm and gift of the blag. So when a friend asked him how he felt about forming a boy band he thought, 'Sure, why not?' He didn't sing, he didn't play an instrument, but hey, so what? He'd make it up as he went along. He was a survivor. He was a chancer. But when the Boyzone phenomenon finally took off, Shane soon started to kick against the manic world he found himself hurled into. Relentless media pressure, a dangerous foray into the occult, his marriage breakdown and the eventual band split took their toll on a man who could never quite get to grips with what all the fuss was about. This is Shane Lynch's own compelling and remarkably frank account of the schoolboy failure who achieved fame and fortune beyond his wildest dreams - and ended up angry, disillusioned, empty and alone. For anyone who's ever found themselves asking, 'What's it all about?' the answers are here. In black and white.

I loved this book. As I am a big Boyzone fan I couldnt wait to get my hands on this book. Shane tells you about the happy times right down to his deepest darkest times. He takes you on a roller coaster journey with him. He is so truth full about his times in Boyzone his failed marriage his times at school being thrown out of school at 14 and the day he found the real him. Its a really enjoyable book Well done shane. He is the one and only Chancer xx

Bing a big fan back in the day, Shane was always my favourite by far. With the daring haircuts and the fact that he was so damn cool & laid back! The book details what really happened during his Boyzone days and the hell that he went through during the aftermath. I have been in awe of Shane since I was a child, now its a deep amount of respect I have because he had the strength to pull himself out of a very dark place. I laughed and cried whilst reading this book. I would recommend this to anyone who has sruggled with their faith or thinks they will never be able to find the light at the end of the tunnel. This is not by any means a book which preaches, just one that shows how one mans re-kindled faith pulled him from back from the brink!

Bought this for my husband for Christmas and he really enjoyed it, said it was very open and honestly written and easy to read. I'm finishing another book but can't wait to start reading Shane's book next.

I love Shane Lynch but this book is dreadful. I could not see the point of it at all. It was dull, boring and about as interesting as watching paint dry. Read more
