Customer Reviews

Easy to read and laugh out loud
Another great book from Piers Morgan following Insider. His ability to be self-depricating and his honest account of the tabloid editor becoming a celebrity is funny, honest and very readable.

Excellent
I really enjoyed this book. Lots and of gossip and incredibly funny. I love the way he can laugh at himself. i would reccommend this book!

The one where Piers starts believing his own hype
I loved Piers' first memoir. It was naughty, funny, fascinating and filled with excellent gossip. His vanity and ego was leavened by the fact he never took himself too seriously, and knew he was a bit of an arse. So naturally I bought his new book.
Big mistake. Despite the knowing title, Piers has started taking himself too seriously. Although that's not the major problem with the book. It's that he hasn't got enough material. I guess he has to deliver a second memoir and the publisher was on his back so he just shoved down any old stuff. The first half is him literally wondering what he's going to do with the rest of his life, hanging out with his kids and chasing Celia Walden, and it's really, really tedious (no famous tittle tattle either, and frankly, that's what we're here for).
Also, what's with all the wibbling on about his kids? At one point there's about 5 pages dedicated to how he took his son out in a Lamborghini to a game for his birthday, then the horrible nasty driver was late (a near-page of tirade against this man) and, and... seriously, why would anyone be interested in this? Yes, yes, well done Piers, you're a great dad, have a pat on the back... I have nothing against Piers's children, I'm sure they're lovely, it's just not what I bought the book for!
That said, the stuff about The Hoff is excellent, and really quite funny (in an awful way), so it gets a star. So if you're thinking of buying this book, buy it second-hand (to save as much money as possible), and read the last third. Seriously, you won't miss anything.
