 Very funny and touching September 23, 2009

JLC has always amused me on TV so when I saw this at the airport I thought I'd give it a go. It made me laugh out loud on the plane quite a few times and I really enjoyed the way it was written - very open and honest, especially about his early disasters with women! I thought he came across as a very genuine and lovely chap.
br /Definitely worth reading.

I'm not much of a reader it has to be said - but what I am is Bristolian and frankly, if you can make it by being completely yourself, accent and all, and remain completely down to earth then well, you've done alright in my book...well I haven't got a book, but if I did it would say that.
br /
br /As I mentioned, I've not read many books, not since Jayne Eyre and To Kill a Mockingbird since school days, (And obviously The Da Vinci Code - who hasn't?) but he has a way with words that you just wouldn't expect from his persona on screen - and I actually love the fact that he has written this himself, it pains me to hear about the likes of Jordan making more money that most will in a lifetime by selling ANOTHER biography that she hasn't even so much as held a biro in IKEA let alone written it.
br /
br /I've had this little `what if' thing with JLC dating back to a decade or so ago where I worked in the same video shop as him in Brizzle (He references it a few times) - not name dropping because I never really had anything to do with him, our shifts would never overlap because it was only ever one person working but I always felt like given a different situation, another day perhaps where we actually met and had a coffee, we could've been friends, but lets face it, that's him isn't it? He has that way of making you feel like that whether you know him or not, and this book just emphasises that fact. On finishing it I actually felt like he'd opened up to me individually, like he had sent me a personal email, or even that I'd stumbled across his diary, it's that personal - so that's a hell of a thing right?
br /
br /He reminisces about his youth, his loves and loathes and of course Bristol, which for anyone who knows that place, or grew up there too, there're so many references to people, places and locales, you'll be busy reminiscing with him too.
br /
br /So claims to fame put to one side, I can assure you that there isn't any bias in what I'll say about this book - And that is it's a frank, interesting and funny log (My words) of this ordinary guys daft existence to date (his words).
br /
br /So if you ever read this Justin, well done... and is there any chance you could sign my copy next time I see you at Cabot Circus bud? I'll have a perma-copy on me at all times...good times, that is!

Great read, if a little short. Pictures are decent too. September 27, 2009

First off, the T-shirt - its a Large, which I suppose is fine for the average chappy. Although its very much an indoor item - Wouldn't wear it outside - its far too loud. Washes well also - great for a freebie I suppose.
br /
br /Now to the book itself - 350 odd pages of pure humor from a great comedian. His little stories, especially one about not being able to pay for pizza, are very entertaining and keep you wanting to read more. The style the book is written is not too thought inducing, its definately an easy-read.
br /The pictures that appear in 2 sections of the book are worth a look, showing JLC in his childhood as well as with some famous faces.
br /
br /To summarise, this is well worth a tenner, and the t-shirt to boot, makes this a steal!
Loved it! October 30, 2009

I absolutely loved reading JLC's book. He really lets you in and makes you feel part of his life. I couldn't specify the size of the t-shirt that came with it, it was L and way too big, but it was free. I totally recommend this book. x
