 Well I thought it was good! September 24, 2008
Ok, you either love him or you hate him, and I fall into the former category so I may be biased, but I thought this book was fantastic. It was a humorous and informative account of how Moylesy came to be the 'Saviour of Radio One'. I'm not quite sure what other readers were expecting - but this book just perfectly summed up the Chris Moyles we hear on the radio 5 days a week; funny, sarcastic and VERY honest. It was so 'him' I could almost hear his voice coming off the pages as I read.
There's a brief account of his childhood, where it becomes apparent that he's grown up within a very warm and close family, then the book moves on to relay his journey to Radio One, and interspersed with this are anecdotes and memories of celebrities he's met along the way. Through reading this book I got a glimpse of the man behind the mouth, who I have to say, I like more than ever now.
I know he evokes strong opinions, so if you don't like him don't read this book. If you do then I can't recommend it highly enough.
 use as solid fuel August 30, 2008
i generally buy or borrow a book as soon i've finished reading one (thank the lord i borrowed this one)it is utter self promotion,the mans ego is bigger than his wallet (and that is saying something thank you BBC)
this is all self promotion on a huge scale and throughout just screams ME ME ME ME ME I SAVED THE BBC (FFS)
there is a lot of banging on throughout about breasts (don't ask)and thats it really,i'm 42 and i borrowed the book off my step daughter who is 16 so maybe it's a generation thing but i doubt it.........in light of the recent fuel bill hikes i recommend you wait while your local shop has this drivel in its bargain bin buy the lot and burn them to keep warm.....
 Below expectation June 11, 2008
An decent autobiography should be insightful and offer a view in to the writer's life. This particular Gospel is rather light on both. I feel that if the style of writing contained more depth then the book may have held my attention more. However, this is definitely aimed at the lowest common denominator and as a result misses the mark. There are some small moments that cause a wry smile, but the essence of what makes Moyles great is lost in translation. Unfortunately it feels like a cash cow.
POOR May 13, 2008
More copy and paste tripe from the man that talks more about less than anyone else on the planet.
It will probably appeal to middle aged men who drive white vans and don't get much attention from members of the opposite sex...
My main dislike of Moyles is that he has possibly the best job in the country, is paid hansomely for it and yet chooses to fill his show (and Books) with a stream of constant drivel. Virtually everything that comes out of his mouth is educationally insulting, irrellevant, immature, uninformed, dull or just downright offensive.
The diary of an ego maniac March 20, 2008
I expected this book to be so much more - foolish of me to believe the Moyles self generated hype. From the first page to the last this is purely and simply a declaration by Moyles that he is fantastic and we should all thank god he is alive to bring joy into our lives.
