Odd Boy Out Bewertungen

Hilarious, ribald, eye-popping, unforgettable, will make you laugh out loud * Daily Mail *
A whirlwind of witticisms and of funny tales, both short and tall . . . 'I feel I have lived my life in a magic garden where the sun is always shining' he writes, and in Odd Boy Out he offers us yet another glimpse of that bright, shining sun * Mail on Sunday *

Warm, witty, charming. A moving and very affectionate family history. An enthusiast for life

* The Times *
A fabulous raconteur with a great many tricks up his sleeve. His infectious zest for life means he has a story for almost every well-known person you can think of * Daily Telegraph *
A magnificent raconteur. A witty account of a most unusual life * Independent *
Brilliant pen portraits of his father and myriad friends present a framework for Gyles's contemplation of his extraordinary life. Light-hearted and dark events alike are described with his customary deceptively jaunty style, making them funny, moving, and sometimes deeply shocking -- Sheila Hancock
Staggeringly brilliant, funny and touching, I loved it -- Joanna Lumley
A hilarious and revealing account of growing up and coming of age in an apparently well-to-do but always strapped-for-cash middle-class English family * Eastern Daily Press *
Brandreth has been an expert cheerer-upper for more than 60 years . . . Ebullient. Full of fun, famous names and sparkling facts * Daily Mail *
He's cheery, fun and has a fabulous grasp of the English language, so Gyles Brandreth's autobiography makes for a scintillating read. His hilarious - and sometimes moving - account of his life from early childhood days through to the adult world of politics and television is candid. It is also a story around his everyday family life, and about happiness, ambition and love. It offers a fascinating insight into a portrait of Britain, too * People's Friend Magazine *
Hugely enjoyable. Engaging * Choice Magazine *
Full of fascination . . . Tantalising. Alongside his celebrity stories, his delightfully observed domestic portraits bring to life whole lost worlds * Great British Life *
Fascinating * Telegraph *
