Can You Tell What it is Yet?: The Autobiography of Rolf Harris [Audiobook] (Audio Cassette)

Not only does this book highlight Rolf's many great achievements throughout his triumphant journey, it also gives insights on his disasters, his struggles and his life regrets. He openly talks about his bleak depression that he sank into - and his horrors of finding out that he hadn't been a great father or husband.

However, every cloud has a silver lining and Rolf's certainly did - as he landed himself into the well suited role of the popular 'Animal Hospital' presenter.

This well written book can make you cry in one sentance and laugh out loud in the next. It also includes many past and present photographs from Rolf's personal album.

This book is a 'must' read for any Rolf Harris fans both young and old alike - but also a recommendation for any fame wannabes - as it shows that with determination you can achieve whatever you desire.

This autobiography proves that this most loved and respected musician, presenter and artist is infact an amazing true gentleman.

Long may Rolf keep entertaining us for many more years to come.

It made me laugh and it made me cry many times, but most for all it made me remember parts of my life that were both funny and sad.

In the early 1970`s when my wife and I were 20 we went on our first holiday abroad to Malta. We went to Rolf's club, he went round all the tables and spoke to all his guests but he forgot about us sitting at the back. During the show he remembered that he had not said hello and said Ill be over later. But my wife passed out with sunstroke and we had leave early.

Rolf if you get in the back for my cab I hope to tell you the storey and say hello.

Whether you know Rolf as the bloke who used to sing Jake The Peg, the presenter of Animal Hospital, or just that guy who always drew cartoons on television, the chances are you will have grown up with Rolf. A loveable as well as a talented individual, he comes across as warm, kindly, and always jolly in his book, which makes his extraordinary life story easier to read.

One thing that is clear is that Rolf loves people. He obviously loves his family and has a lot of respect for his friends and colleagues, yet he is critical of his own behaviour towards them. He is not a saint, yet there are no big revelations of the type I was expecting to find (I had wondered whether he was ever a boozer - he wasn't, or an adulterer - he wasn't). He is genuinely the nice guy you see on the television screen, cuddling poorly animals or getting everyone to sing along with Stairway To Heaven at Glastonbury. The other surprise was that he is not a religious man, with basically humanist principles backed up with a vague belief.

Rolf tells the story of his life well, from birth to the age of seventy, spending just enough time on anecdotes and analysis. There is a good selection of black and white and colour pictures, although I would possibly have liked to have seen a little more of Rolf's art.

A great read.
