Louis Theroux wrote this himself and comes across so terribly throughout. He seems ungrateful for the privilege afforded to him in his early life to be able to play around with his career as much as he did and he seems entirely uncaring in both of his marriages, although I recognise his first marriage was one of convenience rather than desire.
The behind the scenes secrets from his TV career are fun, a redeeming part of this book, but his constant discussion of Jimmy Savile was a bit much. I didn’t need every second chapter to be reminiscent of time spent with Savile before the allegations.
Stick to TV Louis.

As he acknowledges in the bonus material of the audiobook, I would have liked more personal anecdotes as well as work related ones, and the Jimmy Saville content took up more of the book than I expected, but I did generally find it interesting to see how deeply impacted he'd been by this experience and how it seems to have shaped him as a person.
Moderate: Child abuse
