I've been a fan of Jonathan Ross ever since I saw him on BBC the first time. He's a really funny man, so how can I not? I decided to read this book because it would be fun - how could it not be when it's Jonathan Ross?
The problem is that even though it's really funny at times, it's just not enough. I was really bored most of the time and it just seemed to drag on. Of course there's some elements that I really liked.
I liked the moment where it was funny - where Jonathan Ross didn't try to be funny, but failed. And I liked that he was honest about everything, especially about the it-could-just-be-how-I-remember-it part.

But as I said, it was funny at time, but it really draged on and on and became quite boring after a short while. I'm not saying that he isn't funy or that his life isn't interesting, but it's really writtin in a boring kind of way.

I wasn’t a big fan of Jonathan Ross before I read this book, and was expecting him to come across as annoying, just as I found him on his chat show. However, I did really enjoy this book and didn’t find it annoying at all. It’s not an autobiography as such; instead it’s a book that covers a subject at a time from his weight over the years to his comic book interest. I actually loved this format and thought it made the book flow better. Altogether, a very enjoyable book I would recommend,
