What an Inspiration - Rated
A hard book to put down once started. Paul just proves that an ordinary guy can make his way through the lows & highs in life and regardless of the slandering & heartache he's endured through life he still managed to become successful, strong, funny and caring and also shows chapter by chapter he is still down to earth and not forgotten the true morals in life and thoughout his illness still manages to put others first! Musn't forget that this book was excellently put together by Neil Simpson & look forward to more of both their books.

paul o'grady, the biography, neil simpson - Rated
i thought it was a good read, in fact i read it in fewer than 48 hours. however i thought that most of it was more descriptive than factual.
i think it lacks some of the details that i have read before.
at the same time, i could recognise and had already read a lot of the book's content elsewhere. as i have been to several shows, i think i have seen a different side to paul, than the one which is portrayed in the book.

an interesting insight into the creation of Lily Savage - Rated
The book provides a lot of unknown information showing Pauls' childhood,teenage years and adulthood.Producing a daughter at sixteen,living aroung the world and losing his Parents tragically are all explained in the book.It's interesting to read how Lily was created and the wealth that this caricature made for Paul.However,though Paul has many facets to his stage presence,he will always be known for Lily.I would recommend this book to fans but it lacks appeal for a wider audience.

I was very impressed with his life story it was a good read

A special Man - Rated
This is the story of someone very special indeed. His childhood and his later years are vividly described and many times made me laugh out loud. There is heartbreak here too and ill health which has dogged Paul. He has not allowed this to stop him and the book flows like a river carrying the reader through the many ups and downs of his life so far. A book that is well worth reading with it's depth of feeling.
