Review Quote Reviews of My Shit Life So Far: If you are suffocating in cosy Christmas cheer, this abrasively cynical, relentlessly misanthropic book might feel like a welcome faceful of ice-cold water straight out of the Clyde. " The Sunday Times Quite triumphantly, this is the most abusive, obscene, insulting memoir yet published Many, many funny lines here. A difficult book to read sedately in public. " The Evening Standard He has a shocking, acid-tongued wit and his sharp observations make this one of the funniest autobiographies I "ve read. " The Sun an original mix of confession and stand-up monologue it "s rather gratifying that it "s outselling most of the books by more famous figures. " The Guardian a refreshing antidote to the usual feelgood books by TV stars. " The Independent My Shit Life So Far, showcases that cruel and unusual comedy thats become Frankie "s trademark, and should probably be enjoyed far away from hot liquids bizarre, intelligent and abusively hilarious. " **** The List frequently funny. " Heat biting wit. " Independent on Sunday Fans of Boyles dark style will hope this book provides laughs-a-plenty and an antidote to the play-it-safe, sickly sweet autobiographies of other so-called celebrities. They will not be disappointed. " Dave TV Only read this book in public if you have no qualms about blowing coffee through your nose in spurts of guilty laughter Punchier than a cage fighter, with more disclosures than an episode of Parky Addictive and expertly brutal.
