Parky: My Autobiography (Abridged) Audiobook

" Parky comes across rather bolshy and arrogant. Don't know why I was surprised - he IS a Yorkshireman! "

" Quite a readable book & some interesting insights in to Parky, his life & someof his guests. However it does end up feeling like a list of the famous & used to be famous; I shouldn't be surprised I suppose as he's most famous for interviewing famous people "

" I read this in dribs and drabs so to speak. It lends itself well to that sort of reading. I like Parky and I found him a very easy read. It was good to read about his life before the main show. I learned so many things about him! Of course he has interviewed some of the most fascinating and famous people of our time. I thought he might have given more away than he did about those celebrities but then again it's not that surprising that he kept it brief. Naturally Meg Ryan featured (what a disaster that was!) and I was surprised with Muhammad Ali being such an influence on him - and taking a chapter or so of the book. But what I did like, was that with each chapter, it was like I was tuning into one segment of his show. He showed us just enough to make us wanting more. On ya Parky! :) "

" An interesting and very funny beginning describing his upbringing in Cudworth, Yorkshire is followed by a more pedestrian telling of life away from home. There are numerous amusing incidents which are told well, but by the end one is almost overwhelmed by the name-dropping. "

" Very interesting man, would like to have heard more about his interactions but a great read nonetheless. "

" I liked the stories he shared, I love the way he tells the stories and being Australian, I cant deny his taste. After having seen him interview so many people it is interesting to find out what the man is thinking and he does throw out a few surprises. "

" I loved Parky until I read this book! "

" Didn't enjoy to much name dropping & cricket - not particularly well written. Got boring as he progressed his name dropping. Interesting in that he grew up in a poor coal mining family. "

" i always enjoyed his TV interviews so this was a nice read to fill in some background on the king of the interviewers "

" Not a bad book although expected more about the the people interviewed "

" Very well written and enjoyable, but there are no photos included. "

" Abridged Audio Version of Parky's Autobiography, read by the author. Intersting read. "

" Really interesting insight into a very clever and likable man. "

" Often the trouble with autobiographies is that the padding needed to make a life interesting enough for a fairly lengthy book drags on and on and this one was no different. "

" Great little book, very intresting, and good insights on how he percieved his guests. "

" You feel as if you are in the audience and he is interviewing himself. "
