I really enjoyed getting a behind the scenes look at Louis’s documentaries. The discussion surrounding Jimmy Saville was very interesting and I understand why it was such an integral part of the book. But it was quite a high focus and I feel like that aspect of the book took over a little bit

I wanted so much to enjoy this book as much as I enjoy Louis Theroux’s documentaries, but unfortunately this book is subpar to the television work he puts out. 

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.
