"Unusual among celebrity memoirs is that Reeves describes a childhood that was all but perfect" Guardian "One of the great pleasures of this book is his description of life in the hairy Seventies; of discovering David Bowie, Grand Funk Railroad, prog rock and Yes." Observer "This is both a touching and fascinating memoir... a great read told in the comedian's wickedly witty humour" Hot Stars "Unlike the current glut of misery memoirs, his book... is a funny, positive read." Northern Echo "Well done, have a gold star" -- Bob Mortimer
