I absolutely ADORE Graham Norton and the audiobook is narrated by him which made this all the more delightful to me!

It's funny! The first chapter about his dogs and coffee had me in absolute stitches, as did many other bits throughout the story which had me giggling.

Incredibly enjoyable. It truly feels like sitting down with Graham over a cup of tea and listening to his story.

I think this is best "read" as an audio book as Norton narrates it. As the late Northern Irish comic Frank Carson used to say "it's the way you tell them". Norton's gift for story telling is absolutely how he says thing rather than what he says. He doesn't say anything thing profound in this book in which outlines his passions (hence the title) but narrates in such a way, you find yourself laughing out aloud at tales that in other hands would be mundane.

To be honest, it's like a lengthy version of his radio show without the celebrities or Maria McErlane (though, both are frequently referenced). Not a bad thing at all if you're an avid fan of the show (which I am).

Probably wouldn't have bought it if there hadn't been a e-book/audiobook deal, but still really enjoyed it.

Graham Norton: The Life and Loves of a He Devil- Graham Norton- 3.75 ⭐️ Parts I absolutely loved, parts I skimmed. I love listening and watching him live. Maybe this would be a great audio book if I ever used them.

I really enjoy Graham Norton's chat show and I find him to be quite funny and a good storyteller, so I loved finding out that he had a book. I listened to this on audiobook, and found that it was made all the better for having been narrated by the author himself. Graham is charming, funny, sincere, and quite candid in his stories about life, loves, and periods of loss. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is a fan!
