Has anyone read his book yet? its absolutely hilarious, i bought it today from't thasda (£3.86) i'm only on chapter 2 but i cant stop laughing when i'm reading it, he's as funny with his writing as he is doing stand-up, when your reading the book you can imagine that broad Bolton accent he has


a great read and highly recommended

I love Peter Kay and so do the kids - it's spittin! it's spittin! Everybody in - it's spittin! I didn't know if the book would be as funny but now I want to read it.
 
its ok i've put it down a few times in the last month cos i couldnt afford it, your not on yer own there
 
I read this book last year, it's fabulous and well worth £3.86. When it first came out in hardback it was £18. :eek:

I wasn't paying that though. That's Peter Kay's one fault in my opinion, he's a bit of a money grabber.

I paid £10 for mine because I pre-ordered it on Amazon.

It's available in the library now for anyone who doesn't want to buy it.

It's a brilliant read. :)

Ok .. so I am being contrary here, read it on holiday in September, my friends had it. Sorry, but thought it was not all that good. Peter Kay does make me laugh in a stand up situation, but didn't come across too well in text. The old Carson catchprase of "It's the way I tell 'em", and that was what it smacked of to me.

Very disjointed and found it very difficult to send my face muscles up North to raise a laugh .. disappointing in my opinion (and others). Just a money making effort.
 
I think people were expecting it to be alot funnier than it is because of what he does for a living, but lets face it-its his autobiography,if it was full to the brim of jokes then surely it would be a joke book?!
 
i think what it is, i'm around the same age as Peter Kay and i can relate more to what he's going on about in the book, (please dont take that the wrong way Kate cos i do luff ya) like when he talks about the sweets that where around when we where little and things like that...i suppose it would be the same for me if i was reading a book that was published in the 70's...i wasnt around till 76 so i couldnt really relate to it




























*shaz runs away before she gets a slap*
 
I have also read the book and can highly recommend it, it's very funny. He should update us with a new one.Fingers crossed.

Cant say i find him that funny. He is funny in some ways but not my sort of humour.

At first i didn't like him as its very 'Northern' humour-which i just didn't get but now he has me in stitches,so much so that i asked for one of his DVDs for mothers day last year.
 
like you say D, its 'northern humour' and southerners dont seem to get it, i was watching one of his dvds with Stuart once (my ex from Hampshire) and he didnt have a clue what he was on about, you have to be in the right frame of mind to understand him to and to find him funny :D
