Lo
This man deserves so much more credit than he receives because not only is this book incredibly well written and articulate, but for the courage that it takes to share such events. I listened to the audiobook, as Alan narrated it himself, and it will certainly be an experience I will not forget. His life is harrowing, as not only did he lose his mother at a young age, but he also suffered abuse from the one person who is supposed to keep him safe. Although he talks about tough topics in this book, he uses his wit and dark humour to bring a comedic approach to the traumatising experiences he has endeavoured.

This book will make you laugh, it will make you cry, you will feel anger, frustration and resentment, but you'll also have an overwhelming feeling of pride for this wonderfully ordinary man who has found the strength to tell his story. I found he had a very easy to listen to voice and manner. A very brave account of a tortured childhood.

This is a memoir about his childhood, of growing up in the seventies in the South of England, and how the trauma he experienced as a boy shaped him into the man he is today. I loved the simplicity of the writing and telling of the story.
