I recommend it heavily. It's a wonderful book - Melvyn BraggWonderfully readable... packed with revelations and insight, and offer an unrivalled glimpse into the lives of practically every giant personality of the past three decades - Daily MailNothing less than riveting - MirrorParky's book is a joyous, breezy read, as much for the improbability of his early escapades as for his backstage anecdotes about the stars. It is also beautifully written - Daily TelegraphThe early chapters about his childhood and early career ... are disarmingly modest and offer a proper glimpse into another world - IndependentCrisp and detailed prose ... with an especially impressive account of a pre-second world war childhood in the north - Mark Lawson, GuardianFunny and self-deprecating and just as laid-back as he is on camera - Boyd Tonkin, Independent
