Intelligent and Charming and So So Funny! - Rated 
I have JUST finished reading Vic Reeves brilliant Biography called "Me: Moir: Volume One"
It's Jim Moir (Vic Reeves) from birth to 20 and is full of fun, laughter, fun, laughter, the odd bit of sadness and pathos. And if you're 35+ you will find things sprinkled throughout this brilliant book that will trigger memories of your own childhood. It is well written with inteligence and charm. I found him to be very honest about his childhood, teens and early adulthood, but it's not out to shock, nor is it smutty...only a little rude in places lol
I first saw the book in Smiths, picked it up and read the first paragraph of the first page and had tears rolling down my eyes and I decided when I had the cash I would buy it!
It is a laugh-out-loud book of joy! If you're a fan..go read it, you'll love it!!!
Iranu indeed - Rated 
This book is genuinely laugh out loud funny,self deprecating in places and quite revealing also.It's very well written unlike a lot of comedians biographies and if you enjoy Reeves use of the English Language then you will love this.And hopefully it will be a case "you wouldn't let it lie" therefore guaranteeing a sequel.
A Gold Star! - Rated 
Bought this book for myself and a friend.
Loved every word of it!
I don't normally read many books, but this is one anyone could read and enjoy.
Now waiting for Volume 2...

After much discussion and thought I had decided that I no longer received enjoyment from reading as a passtime. Until I read Me:moir. It has restored my faith that there are books out there that can make me laugh out loud and allow me to read with ease. This IS a funny book - if you find this style funny. Its endearing if you are that way inclined and it leaves you checking on Amazon for the next installment if you found it interesting. I am quite well aware that this book is not for everyone so here is the rub. Open the book at random, read a paragraph or two and if you think 'Genius' purchase and peruse from page one because the whole book is like that. If, however, you find your face contorted and your brain aching so much that the only syllable it can produce is 'Eh?' then, sadly (for you but not for me) you are not unique enough to give this book an audience.
Bellyache material - Rated 
I loved this book, the funniest childhood memoir I have read apart from the first Clive James and George Melly's childhood autobiography. The added bonus for me is the nostalgic references to Hinton's supermarkets, Lowcock's lemonade etc; I grew up in nearby Stockton in the seventies, the painted haversacks were a our school too - give youself a laugh and buy it.
