review 1: I would never have bought this book. It was at work and I read through it to kill time. It started off pretty well, not as hilarious as the taglines on the book would make you think, but funny in pretty much the same way as Gavin and Stacey. Not side splitting, but wry.But then when he got to the middle of the book which was pretty much the middle of his career, or the peak of it, it just started to drag on a bit, and it was a bit of a whiny plea to people to excuse him for how badly he behaved during that period of his life.I got bored then and didn't finish it.Easy reading, good to pass away the time, ideal to kill time at the airport etc.
review 2: "Until finally I co - wrote a TV series called Gavin and Stacey. And my whole life changed. In every single way... more. Lots of it good and parts of it bad. Some of it funny and bits of it sad.That is that story. The story of how I found myself here, talking to you."I've been familiar with James Corden since he was in Fat Friends in the early 2000's, although it took me a while to realise it was the same person in Gavin and Stacey five years after that serial had finished. This book is the story of how James Corden found his fame, all the bumps along the way. Charting the success of the History Boys (a brilliant film), to Gavin and Stacey and the recent update of One Man, Two Guvnors. It also tells you of how he got lost a long the way, and how his seemingly close relationship with his Gavin and Stacey co - star, Mat Horne (Gavin) crumbled - they are of course friends now. If you aren't familiar with his work I think you should start to, his writing is fantastic & Gavin and Stacey is one of the best examples of modern day British comedy. (People are still calling for another series). Im a massive fan of James Corden, the love for his baby boy, Max is evident throughout and I think you will enjoy this book. less
