This has to be the best biography I have ever read, I'm probably old fashioned but I'm not in favour of these young "jumped up" OK type celebs who have five minutes of fame and then bring out the obligatory book. You cannot write or publish an autobiography or have someone write a biography until you have experienced life and, boy, this man has certainly lived an amazing life!!! I would like to say that the book is very warm, very touching and easy to read, pick it up and do a couple of chapters and then take a break, you are reading the words and you can hear Joe saying them, he;'s there in front of you in your head, I like this quality very much and think Chris Berry has done full justice to Joe and all his fans in the way he has written the book.
I commend Joe for his total honesty, the book takes you right through every emotion and more, you wonder how on earth he has made it through, thank god that he has, and if I did not have total respect and admiration for Joe and the way he has battled through I certainly do now, he is a shining example to us all. I am only a couple of years younger than Joe and I laughed till I rolled on the carpet reading all the tales about his younger days "twagging" as I think he called it off school, on the ferry and losing his ice cream onto some bloke's head and then all about his "courting days" in the daisies, etc.
In a nutshell, the book will make you laugh, it will touch and move you deeply and bring tears and most of all it will make you appreciate and love the man who is Joe Longthorne even more than you did before. Great to see Joe on TV this week talking about the book, think this will hopefully open many doors for him and bring him true recognition and reward once again for his gigantic talents. God Bless you and thanks so much Joe x
