Billy (Abridged) Audiobook

" I really enjoyed reading about Billy's life (I had no idea he had a difficult childhood), but I didn't think it was well written at all, hence why I gave it a 3 star rating instead of a 4 star. Billy has lead an interesting life and I did buy the sequel because I wanted to know more, but Pamela Stephenson is not a writer... And it shows! Still, I would recommend it to Billy fans. "

" Sure you know Billy. If you're a fan you'll enjoy it. Otherwise, maybe just an interesting read about a normal guy who's achieved extraordinary things in his life. "

" Had me in stitches several times. A very entertaining, laugh-out-loud book. "

" Found in a thrift shop in Edinburgh, yeah! Hardcover -- not like me -- but too perfect a find. "

" A really good book about the Big Yin. "

" brilliant stuff, insights into the man who makes you cry laughing, unbeatable "

" Well when I put "read" I mean barely read. I love Billy but this book just didn't do it for me, you learnt new facts about him, but the author (his wife) was a very boring writer. "

" The lives of comedians are often filled with sadness - Billy had a tough life. An interesting read. "

" I Love Billy, he's so funny. And what better author than his wife, warts and all. Great read. "

" I was interested to be reading about Billy Connelly, but I thought this book was really poorly written, it just did not flow. "

" More to the man then I thought. "

" Truly revealing book - enjoyed it immensely. "

" A great story filled with everyday life lessons. Laugh out loud and cry at the same time. "

" Funny and sad. It made me laugh out loud. "

" Feckin leg end of a man. "

" A very funny book. There were a couple of moments where it felt like some amateur psychology had been forced in just for the sake of it, but ignoring those parts it was a thoroughly entertaining read. "

" A beautifully written book ~ such a wonderful, funny and touching story..... "

" Loved it! Both funny, touching and shocking at times. "

" Moving and fascinating insight into Billy's mind! "

" While I was interested in Billy's life, I didn't think this book was particularly well written. "

" An insight to a very funny man "

" Two thirds of this book were really interesting, dealing with Billy's childhood and early life. But the latter stages turned into a series of anecdotes regarding Billy's famous friends and his acting jobs which was not so interesting "

" Great reading..but must say, it probably helps to be a fan. Book might be boring and self ingratiating otherwise. "

" Billy connolly is one of my favourite comedians and I enjoyed reading about his life. I didn't realise he had such a tough childhood and after warming to his wife on strictly come dancing I was intrigued about what she had to say. P.s. Never pat animals with sneaky eyes!! "

" Great read into the life of one of my favourite comedians...i thought it was very eye opening into his early life and how he got to where he is today "

" I was attracted to this book by the funniness of the character but the analysis by a psych. This is a sad and very interesting story "

" 1016067 I liked this, but I think if you didn't particularly know of or care for The Big Yins comedy it'd probably not hold your attention. It doesn't linger too much on the abuse, otherwise it'd just be another depressing "Boy Called Dave" type book that would have you headed for the prozac! "

" a good book, what a terrible childhood "
