Ever since being brought up by The Beatles, Frankie Boyle has been a tremendous liar. Join him on his adventures with his chum Clangy The Brass Boy and laugh as he doesn't accidentally kill a student nurse when a party gets out of hand. I don't think anyone can have written an autobiography without at some point thinking "Why would anyone want to know this shit?" I've always read them thinking "I don't want to know where Steve Tyler grew up, just tell me how many groupies he f**ked!"' So begins Frankie's outrageous, laugh-out loud, cynical rant on life as he knows it. From growing up in Pollockshaws, Glasgow ('it was an aching cement void, a slap in the face to Childhood, and for the family it was a step up'), to his rampant teenage sex drive ('in those days if you glimpsed a nipple on T.V. it was like porn Christmas'), and first job working in a mental hospital ('where most evenings were spent persuading an old man in his pants not to eat a family sized block of cheese'), nothing is out of bounds. Outspoken, outrageous and brilliantly inappropriate, Frankie Boyle, the dark heart of Mock the Week, says the unsayable as only he can.From the TV programmes he would like to see made ('Celebrities On Acid On Ice: just like Celebrity Dancing On Ice, but with an opening sequence where Graham Norton hoses the celebrities down with liquid LSD'), to his native Scotland and the Mayor of London ('voting for Boris Johnson wasn't that different to voting for a Labrador wearing a Wonder Woman costume'), nothing and no one is safe from Frankie's fearless, sharp-tongued assault. Sharply observed and full of taboo-busting, we-really-shouldn't-be-laughing-at-this humour, My Shit Life So Far shows why Frankie Boyle really is the blackest man in show business.

 The title says it all

Thought Id look at this cos I was really bored on my week off. Unfortunately I'll never get the time back that I wasted on this book. Save yourself the time and the money and buy something more interesting like a Great British Railway journey book.

This bloke is really dull, so are most of his drab stories and his pathetic sense of humour.

boooooooooriiiiing!!

 only OK...

i was really looking forward to this book after seeing him live. Bit disappointing, not huge detail about his life and more like a stand up show only in print. A good few sniggers in it though..worth the 5 quid but i wouldnt have spent any more on it. Stick to the stand up i think :)

 Fantastic

A lot of it is quite random, some of it is a bit boring but most of it I was laughing out loud, it says on the book that a lot of it is made up bullshit, he says quite a bit about his life which I personally found quite interesting so as for saying he is dull, what a load of tosh. As for the 'stick to stand up comment' if you actually payed attention to anything in the book you would realize he is actually a writer who doesn't really like doing stand up and has written for many comedy greats including Jimmy Carr.

 Laugh? Yes I DID!

I took this on holiday as a last minute purchase because I couldn't think of another book to buy. I kept distracting my wife from her book because I couldn't stop laughing out loud while i was reading it! So funny, admittedly we don't learn much about frankie but a great fun book to read providing you are not easily offended, if you are why would you be buying it anyway? Buy it now, and laugh out loud till it hurts!!!
