Detailed item info

Synopsis
UK comic and MTV's goof-of-the-moment Russell Brand reminisces about his history of drugs, eating disorders, alcoholism, depression, self-mutilation, and more drugs. And did I mention drugs yet? Brand puts Robert Downey Jr. and Keith Richards to shame with his whimsical tales of swapping saliva-covered drugs with strangers, sharing heroin needles with the homeless, and (perhaps as an ode to Richard Pryor) lighting himself on fire while smoking crack. Sure, it was all terrific fun while it lasted, but "Remember, kids, don't try this at home." The calmer, cleaner Brand is only providing these details of his degradation so that the rest of us can mercifully avoid such delightful debauchery.

Industry Reviews
"MY BOOKY WOOK is a richly detailed memoir that's peppered with both evocative descriptions of the author's homeland and memorable lines..."
(03/20/2010)

"You can get away with admitting your very worst behavior, Mr. Brand tells us here, if you simply precede that admission with the words 'to my shame.' ...So then, to my shame, I'll admit I sort of liked MY BOOKY WOOK....I laughed out loud at least a dozen times."
(03/19/2010)

"[Brand] is not just charming but also quick-witted, as evidenced by his entertaining memoir...[which] offers surprisingly sharp insight into his own excesses and frailties, vividly depicting his working-class childhood..."
(03/13/2010)

"Brand withholds nothing. He drinks. He smokes. He scores. He dope-fiends. And he regrets nothing except those incidents of depravity he may have forgotten."
(03/29/2010)

My Booky Wook Hardcover by Russell Brand

Yup all that stuff.

So the book is in pretty good shape.  There's a small slice across the jacket on the binding.  A small smudge on the inside cover.  Little wear on the jacket.  Other than that, its all good!

Any questions please ask!
