Product Description

Paul Merton
Upliftingly hilarious. This is a beautifully honest and sensitive account of a life and career stuffed full of surprising detail.

The Pink Paper
'more than a little dirty, but neverthless entirely engrossing,
clary's passage is worth exploring to the every end'

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic read, 16 May 2005
I loved this book. You get a real sense of Julian from this book which is written with real honesty and conviction.

I loved the whole passage from young boy to international star. Certainly puts events into context and leaves a feeling of sadness at points.

I don't normally read auto-biographies, but I'll certainly be looking out for more as a result of this book. I couldn't put it down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really great book :D, 18 May 2005
By Ms. M. J. Cain "Mi-chan" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'd been waiting for this book ever since it was announced, and it was well worth the wait. This is an incredibly honest, entertaining autobiography by a man whose private life has generally remained private (you know, because it hasn't been all over the tabloids, generally), so you really feel like you're finding out something new about Mr. Clary. It's very well written, humourous but still manages to remain remain sensitive and endearing. I would recommend this book to anybody, it is one of the best autobiographies I've read in a very long time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very very entertaining!!, 31 May 2005
By A Customer
I bought this book in Heathrow airport on a long haul flight to India, couldn't see anything else I was interested in reading and I am so glad I did. It is funny, sarcastic, moving and incredibly personal and I got a real sense of what Julian Clary is like beyond his stage persona. I would definitely reccommend this book to anyone who either likes or loathes him, it changed my perception of someone who I considered crass.
