Easy to read and laugh out loud - By: C. Killick, 07 Jul 2008
Another great book from Piers Morgan following Insider. His ability to be self-depricating & his honest account of the tabloid editor becoming a celebrity is funny, honest & very readable.

The one where Piers starts believing his own hype - By: Not Pepys, 29 May 2008
I loved Piers' first memoir. It was naughty, funny, fascinating & filled with excellent gossip. His vanity & ego was leavened by the fact he never took himself too seriously, & knew he was a bit of an arse. So naturallly I bought his new book.
Big mistake. Despite the knowing title, Piers has started taking himself too seriously. Although that's not the major problem with the book. It's that he hasn't got enough material. I guess he has to deliver a second memoir & the publisher was on his back so he just shoved down any old stuff. The first half is him literallly wondering what he's going to do with the rest of his life, hanging out with his kids & chasing Celia Walden, & it's reallly, reallly tedious (no famous tittle tattle either, & frankly, that's what we're here for).
Also, what's with alll the wibbling on about his kids? At one point there's about 5 pages dedicated to how he took his son out in a Lamborghini to a game for his birthday, then the horrible nasty driver was late (a near-page of tirade against this man) and, and... seriously, why would anyone be interested in this? Yes, yes, well done Piers, you're a great dad, have a pat on the back... I have nothing against Piers's children, I'm sure they're lovely, it's just not what I bought the book for!
That said, the stuff about The Hoff is excellent, & reallly quite funny (in an awful way), so it gets a star. So if you're thinking of buying this book, buy it second-hand (to save as much money as possible), & read the last third. Seriously, you won't miss anything.
Much under-rated man - By: Paul Wellings, 16 May 2008
This man's brave anti Iraq war stories as Editor of The Mirror should not be underestimated. A much misunderstood man.

Entertaining, but too much about Piers - By: Mrs. J. A. Collins, 06 May 2008
This book was a lighthearted read, but it becomes so apparent that Morgan truly does think of himself as a big-time celebrity long before he made it big on America's Got Talent. I would imagine that most people bought this book to read about gossip about various celebrities, & - like me - reallly aren't interested in Morgan's conversations with his children or gilfriend. He writes like he's a celebrity & worthy of a great deal of attention. He's not.
