Rating:  - A trip down memory laneGot the book as a xmas pressie from my daughter. I lived in the same street as Michael Parkinson in Cudworth so much of the early part of the book was a definite trip down memory lane for me. Other reviewers have commented on the overload of cricket but as someone who knows nothing about the sport i didn't try to understand it from this book. What the cricket stories told me were more about his love for his father, his passions, his respect for sporting skill, his frustration with those that thrived ... Read More Rating: - A wonderful bookDo 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. Rating:  - Mr Chat ShowI was looking forward to Michael Parkinson's autobiography. I knew a little bit about him already, his humble beginnings in Yorkshire, his friendship with Dickie Bird, as well as all the wonderful people he has met through his chat show. This book filled in the gaps for things I did not know.

The book ... Read More Rating:  - Could have been so much more interestingEven as a non-Englishman (I'm Dutch) I was well-acquainted with the talk show Parkinson. I watched it whenever I had a chance to catch it and I admired the way Michael Parkinson was able to get interesting stories out of (almost) every one of his guests. That, combined with positive reviews of this book convinced me to buy it. Boy, was I wrong... Unlike one of the other reviewers I was not hoping for gossip, but I would have liked some more details about the assorted guests on the show, especially the ... Read More Rating: - this book is so soParky is familiar to almost everybody, and especially on X Factor you can see him a lot, but his this book: My Autobiography, is not so interesting. I couldnt wait to grab one from the book shelf, but once I've read it for some pages, I found it disappoiting, coz it didnt tell much about himself and his story on television, which could interest people more, especially women. |
