review 1: Dawn French's autobiography is not your usual book. Created as a series of letters to the most important and influential people in her life it creates a very readable story. It seems much more honest than most celebrity reads and in places is extremely powerful and intense.It's got glimpses of French's daft comedy genius so would recommend to those that enjoy her generally but perhaps not if you don't!
review 2: A lovely memoir! Being a fan of Dawn's film and TV work, I simply loved this book. Written in the format of letters to significant people in her own life, I found it fun, touching and riveting. Anyone who's taken note of how long I take to complete a book will be astounded to hear that I read this from cover to cover in under 48 hours! Her ability to ma... moregnificently skewer celebs (Madonna crops up a handful of times) while simultaneously exorcising her own infirmities is a true delight. Finding out how she developed her comedy chops, the unintentional manner she fell into show biz while pursuing a career in education and some of the trials and tribulations she's faced throughout her life were all a treat. Of course, there are the absurdly silly letters to 'Fatty' - her partner in crime; Jennifer Saunders. All fans of comedy and Dawn's work would be well advised to read this one! less
