Reviews:
Jimmy Carr: 'If you like Harry Potter and the Da Vinci Code, why are you even looking at this, you retard?'
Sunday Mail:
'Highly original, hilariously funny material, based on topical issues and cynical observations. Pure stand-up, pure brilliant. Staggering. Laid back, laconic, sharp as the jaggiest jaggy bit of a thistle.'
Guardian:
'Perfectly constructed, weird and wicked one-liners! His eye for absurdity is as sharp as his suits.'
Edinburgh Evening News:
'An impressive arsenal of punch lines!bloody funny.' Metro 'You can forgive Frankie Boyle's confidence and his apparent belief that he is really that good. That is simply, because he is.'
The List:
'Frankie has the attention-holding flair of a natural storyteller.' Herald 'If anyone can steal the crown as the UK's top gag teller, it's him.'

Product Description:
Ever since being brought up by The Beatles, Frankie Boyle has been a tremendous liar. Join him on his adventures with his chum Clangy The Brass Boy and laugh as he doesn't accidentally kill a student nurse when a party gets out of hand. I don't think anyone can have written an autobiography without at some point thinking "Why would anyone want to know this shit?" I've always read them thinking "I don't want to know where Steve Tyler grew up, just tell me how many groupies he ******"' So begins Frankie's outrageous, laugh-out loud, cynical rant on life as he knows it. From growing up in Pollockshaws, Glasgow ('it was an aching cement void, a slap in the face to Childhood, and for the family it was a step up'), to his rampant teenage sex drive ('in those days if you glimpsed a nipple on T.V. it was like porn Christmas'), and first job working in a mental hospital ('where most evenings were spent persuading an old man in his pants not to eat a family sized block of cheese'), nothing is out of bounds. Outspoken, outrageous and brilliantly inappropriate, Frankie Boyle, the dark heart of Mock the Week, says the unsayable as only he can. From the TV programmes he would like to see made ('Celebrities On Acid On Ice: just like Celebrity Dancing On Ice, but with an opening sequence where Graham Norton hoses the celebrities down with liquid LSD'), to his native Scotland and the Mayor of London ('voting for Boris Johnson wasn't that different to voting for a Labrador wearing a Wonder Woman costume'), nothing and no one is safe from Frankie's fearless, sharp-tongued assault. Sharply observed and full of taboo-busting, we-really-shouldn't-be-laughing-at-this humour, My **** Life So Far shows why Frankie Boyle really is the blackest man in show business.

I like Frankie Boyle, but tbh if it weren't for his Scottie accent, his jokes would be nothing

I really don't give a **** if the title of this waste of a tree was meant as sarcasm or not.

Also, book has been this price on play since it's release - that should tell you something about it's quality.
