 Classy autobiography October 17, 2008

Many of us only know Michael Parkinson through his second career as a talk show host, but he has a strong background in "serious" journalism, having worked his way up from being a reporter for local newspapers in his native Yorkshire.
What this means is that, unlike many autobiographers, Parky not only has a tale (or three) to tell; he has the skill the tell it.
Despite his TV popularity and 25-odd years hob-nobbing with the famous and (occasionally) infamous, this gritty miner's son has successfully kept his feet firmly on the ground. A wide range of interests, a passion for sport and, above all, cricket make for a rounded personality and a genuinely interesting life.
This classy autobiography is well above the run-of-the mill and will be a much-appreciated addition to many a seasonal stocking.
As good as I hoped October 13, 2008

The is a very well written memoir this tells you so much about Parky himself through his passions, view of the world and recollections of some amazing meetings / interviews. A Biography that is well worth reading ( and for that see also Entirely Up to You, Darling)

Bought this at a signing last week and I haven't put it down since. Parky has met some of the most important people of the last 40 years and lead a fascinating life. Despite all that success he remains extremely charming and humble, wrote a lovely message in the book I bought for my mum. Perfect xmas gift.
sweetly timed shot to the boundary - excellent October 18, 2008

To Parky I say, thanks for this timely autobiography, and many 'thanks for the memories' from the last 30 years. I enjoyed the book very much. It came across as very honest and entertaining.
A wonderful book December 15, 2008

Do not read this if you are only interested in Parkinson's chat show reminiscences, as many negative reviewers seem to be. Parkinson is not a one dimensional character. He has many interests and has worked in many fields during his long career. He writes about every aspect of his life with honesty and feeling. A wonderful read.
