Really good book, I don't tend to like biographies as a rule but as someone who really likes Louis Theroux and has enjoyed his documentaries for years, this was really interesting. I feel I know the man behind the persona now, it felt like a really honest book and I'm sure many people will find the way he explores his own feelings about the Jimmy Saville revelations very interesting. A high 4 stars.

Very interesting read, Louis has a good way with the written word. Made me realise how manufactured documentaries are though!

Really captured the feel of the pandemic, though seemed to suddenly cut off after a year, and picked up the rest of the story in epilogue.

A really nice memoir that acts almost as a companion piece to Louis’ work - I watched relevant docs in tandem with specific chapters which worked well. Perhaps inevitably Savile casts a long shadow but overall a really well written and engaging book (even with that title, a ‘crass unfunny pun’ as LT calls it).
