Look Who It Is!: My Story

Product Information

I read this book because somebody that I know recommended it to me last year. I’ve just managed to get round to reading it, and overall I would say that it has left a mixed impression behind. Really enjoyed this series of anecdotes / stories from the life of Alan Carr - especially as I listened via audio and Alan actually spoke to me!

Now I'm 33 and while I think my life has been utterly engaging and facinating, I imagine to everyone else it's only been mildly or moderately interesting. I wouldn't write a book of my life, so why do 'celebs' feel the need to put pen to paper every 5 minutes? When I saw this, I rolled my eyes, then thought of his stand up and radio show (which I enjoy) and thought "at the very least it's got to fill 30 mins better than bloody Heat magazine"... ironically the front of the book had a quote from Heat "easily the funniest book of the year" which totally put me off wanting to buy it. But what the hell, it was part of a "buy one get one half price" offer. This is the first such book that I have read and I'm now likely to read others. I found it lovely to take a trip down someone's very personal memory lane. I feel honoured that anybody would be willing to share such personal memories at all, let alone write them down. I love how, with this book, I was brought to laughter by Alan as he described some very depressing times he lived through.At the moment, my baby daughter shares our bedroom and bedtime is the only time I get to read....I found it quite impossible at times NOT to laugh out loud for risk of waking her! I also found myself snorting and sniggering at the book whilst in the dentist's waiting room and people looking at me oddly probably wondering what I was laughing at.
