What to expect

This is Jonathan Ross. And nothing is out of bounds when it comes to talking about life as he knows it. From sex and pugs to rock 'n' roll and genital warts, Jonathan holds forth as only he can. This sharply observed, laugh-out-loud, outrageous page-turner will leave you asking just one question . . . Why didn't he write it sooner?

Critics Review

Laugh-out-loud funny.

Joan Bakewell, Guardian

Hilarious anecdotes aplenty . . . For many of his fans, this will be the first time they get to know the real, likeable, human Jonathan Ross, beneath all the banter and bluster.

Heat magazine

Fluent and entertaining . . . this is a very agreeable ramble through the lively thoughts of a non-smoking, now non-drinking family man with a talent to amuse and enthuse.

David Sexton, Evening Standard

Taking us through his quirky view on life, including fashion, diets and, er, sweetshops this book is guaranteed to make you laugh out loud.

Woman magazine

In between the adolescent porn tales and the hilarious diarrhoea anecdotes, he is funny and acute and full of ideas.

Private Eye

Snap it up, pwonto.

London Lite

It’s impossible to deny he’s the most entertaining interviewer.

Times Educational Supplement

Irreverent and witty . . . hilarious . . . He explores everything – from diets to sweetshops and sex to pets, with all his customary lasciviousness and self-deprecatory humour.

Living Edge

Splendidly entertaining, reflecting on everything from eating a loaf to Shintoism and…sex.

Bournemouth Daily Echo

There are . . . completely honest admissions about his drinking, and laugh-out-loud accounts of his various fashion errors . . . Enjoy gleefully politically incorrect posturing and plain old-fashioned entertainment.
