Iam currently reading Michael McIntyre's life and laughing Book. I loved Michael McIntyre before i read this book and even more now And i'm only half way through!Michael reveals all in his remarkably honest and hilarious autobiography Life and Laughing. His showbiz roots, his appalling attempts to attract the opposite sex, his fish-out-of-water move from public to state school and his astonishing journey from selling just one ticket at the Edinburgh Festival to selling half a million tickets on his last tour. Michael’s story is riveting, poignant, romantic and above all very, very funny. It is so well written that you actually get pulled in to the life story rather than just chuckle at interesting anecdotes. The book maps Macintyre's early life with his talented gag-writing father (for Kenny Everett no less) and glamorous mother through the trials and tribulations of a marriage break-up and time split between 2 families with his sister. It was nice to find about the 'real' Michael McIntyre behind the stage version and that such a seemingly confident man struggles just as much as the rest of us! Michael describes well the relationships he has with his family Especially his grandmother. Even though I knew that McIntyre was going to succeed there is a point in the book that I was so caught up in it (when he's crying at the Edinburgh Gala with his wife) that I had to remind myself that I already knew that everything would turn out alright in the end! I love reading this and i would give it a 5* rating. It is by far the most amusing book i have read! I definatley would recommed it to anyone, Especially Michael McIntyre fans!
