Nick Frost (1)

When I first bought this book I wasn't sure what to expect but I found it charming and introspective.

Nick draws you in and as a child of alcoholic parents, I connected deeply with the love and fear dynamic of that type of household. Even when he describes himself being a complete jerk, there is a self-effacing charisma that will make you smile. And he's led an interesting life.

Many memoirs are a slog but Nick kept his notes and chapters into short, interesting anecdotes that were easy to show more read and I found myself done with 50% of in one night's reading. I learned a lot of slang :)

Come for the funny and tragic, stay for the smiles and warmth. show less

Allow me to lead with the fact I went with the audio book. What better way to absorb an autobiography than to have the person himself tell you about himself.

Simply a wonderful tale. Mr. Frost does not shy away from issues that harmed him emotionally nor does he shy from times when he was behaving in the wrong. He covers much but my only regret is that it stops prior to work on Shaun of the Dead.

As a writer, this was simply wonderful. As an audio book, he seems like he would be one of the show more greatest people to sit in a pub and have several pints with while exchanging stories, joking around, and having a good time. show less
