review 1: To begin, this is not his autobiography. I kept having to reiterate that to people when they asked what I was reading Lol This was a great read - easy and fluid and not complicated in the slightest. I'm not the biggest Madeley fan, but I would recommend this book to anyone. It was very entertaining, and although it didn't change my opinion of him at all, it did help to explain why he is the way he is and even went someway to "explaining" the infamous shoplifting saga. A good read for those in search of an easy quickie.
review 2: Richard Madeley's memoir has been written well and a good story. It's a vivid and candid memoir of his relationship with his father and his own children.Back Cover Blurb:Seven years before the Great War, a little boy stays overnight wi... moreth his family on an uncle's Shropshire farm. He awakes the next morning to an empty house - his mother, father and siblings have packed up and gone. He has been left behind, in what turns out to be a heartbreaking betrayal. This child was Geoffrey - Richard Madeley's grandfather.The shock waves would ripple down through generations of Madeley boys, each one destined to become a father to a son Christopher, Geoffrey's son, was starved of paternal affection; his father, deprived of parenting role models, had emotionally withdrawn. Christopher swore to himself that if he had a son, things would be different. But were they? And when Richard was born, did the scars of the past make their mark on the present? What kind of a father did Richard himself become? less
