| | | Russell Brand My Booky Wook *crashes keyboard down in manic fashion* cjebvuitehgoiehgwporfe
THIS BOOK IS AMAZING AND HOW MUCH DO I LOVE RUSSEL BRAND?!!!!
He's nuts and passionate and energetic and just has a fabulous way with words. Such an endearing book and very funny and sweet I thought. His descent into slow madness fuelled by his rocky adolescence and subsequent heroin and sex addiction is all at once sad, funny, tender, heartwarming and bittersweet.

| | I got this book for Christmas. I've started reading it in between other books so i have only just reached the part about his grandparents. In fact, i might just get off the internet and read some more! I think he's great!

| | | Y4eah finished it the other day. it is a good book. I particularly like the last line. He's a bit like me in that hes an absoloute nut of a bloke who gets distracted alot. But once you overcome this his distractions almost become normal

| | | That's it. I used to think he was a proper bell end until he came into his own a couple of years ago, and seemed genuinely self effacing as opposed to arrogant. That's what I like about him. He's a big loser geek and is fully aware of it. |

| | | HA HA. The fact that he embraces his eccentricities and is so confident in how much he knows himself is what makes him so alluring. That and the fact he's batshit britney crazy. |

| | | I got this at Xmas and I'm just at the bit where he's a full on junkie and making Re:Brand. I like him for the basic reason that he makes me laugh but I think he was a total dickhead up until he got clean, unsurprsingly. The womanising is horrible to read about.
I can relate to some of the things he went through as a kid, his Dad was a bit wrong really wasn't he?
For some reason I felt emotional when I was reading the steps he wrote out when he was in rehab, the things we want in life are so simple but we manage to fuck them up so spectacularly. |

| | | I love that part. I also love the part when he's at the sex addict clinic and they all call him 'London' or something and he's sat there inwardly rebelling against their americaness and thinking 'oh please do fuck off, stick the kettle on and let me watch eastenders on the telly' or words to that effect.
To have that much insight and to be physchologically aware of yourself whilst being institutionalised must be a fucking nightmare! |

| | | I love this book. I think it's hilarious and I love Russell even though he is sometimes quite a dickhead. haha it made me laugh my head off on a train which was quite embarrassing. I particularly liked the bit about alcoholics ruining their lives with 'drinks'. |

| | | Yeah I don't know if I would enjoy going to one of his live shows purely because it would largely be full of 'straights' laughing at how 'wacky' and 'off the wall' he is without understanding or relating to why he's like that. |
