5.0 out of 5 stars Frank, Light and Surprising, 20 Oct 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Jim Davidson: Close to the Edge (Hardcover)
I bought this book expecting one of two things; either a laugh a minute side splitting story or a sales gimmick. What I got was a refreshing, frank insight into this human being with 'normal' thoughts and feelings. I found myself relating to his words in many places which truly surprised me. He describes in detail, the pain, the hapiness and the love(s) of his life from the 4 marriages to the alcoholic rehab, Mr Blobby and beyond. At no time did I feel that I was reading a sales pitch, if anything, I felt like 'big brother' witnessing a remarkable unfoldment of a persons psyche. But hey, don't take my word for it....get it for yourself!.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, 23 Nov 2003
This review is from: Jim Davidson: Close to the Edge (Hardcover)
From the moment I started reading I was hooked. The honesty and humanity eminate from the pages. This is a real rags to riches story with all the ups and downs that fame and fortune can bestow upon a person. Told from the heart, the outrageous, funny and often sad stories will make you laugh and cry and I'm sure there are many 'ordinary' folk, like myself, that will relate to the thoughts and feelings of this man, who is after all, only human. Thanks Jim, for sharing your life (so far) with us.

2.0 out of 5 stars Shocking read, 14 Aug 2006
By C. A. Hill (SWANLAND, East Yorkshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is without doubt an honestly written book but the book is one non stop moan about the comics wives who all failed to live up to his expectations, tax problems, constant digs at the Labour Party and how everything is wrong with life.
Wht we need F words every sentence is questionable and the author seems to have a wish to bed every woman he meets.
Not recommended but I agree that it is honestly written.
