Reviews

Several rungs above most showbiz autobiographies... [I] have been won over by his candour and charm

—— Daily Mail

Shocking and hilarious

—— The Sun

A propulsive read

—— The Times

Chatty, funny, hugely engaging ... an endearingly honest account of his life so far...

—— Heat

Witty with bursts of Smithy-style sincerity - it is distinctively Corden.

—— Independent

It'll make you lol but is also full of poignancy in classic Smithy Style

—— Company Magazine

Strong accounts of his highs and lows... [the book] lays bare the distorting lens of modern celebrity.

—— London Life

Cute on the machinations of the industry and internal band politics

—— The Times, Book of the Week

Brilliant... forensically put together

—— Gordon Smart , XFM

The real pleasure of his beguiling, meandering narrative is not the destination but the rococo scenery en route. ****

—— Francis Wheen , Mail on Sunday
