Reading this makes so much sense of his art work. I work at an auction house and we often have a Grayson Perry piece - which I will invariably love - so when J saw this book I was very excited. The read is easy yet challenging because of some subjects broached like abusive parents and sex (a lot of it). I highly recommend everyone who likes his work or is an aspiring artist to read this. His voice comes in beautifully through Wendy Jones writing.

I love Grayson, but why didn't somebody put him in a room with a really good ghostwriter/editor? The writing style is vry much "This happened. Then this happened. Then this happened." I desperately wanted more insight, more polish.

I like Grayson Perry. I like this book, too. He seems a very grounded individual. I hope there's a sequel, written when he's a grand old man who dresses as Claire all the time, pulling his trolley bag to the shops.
