      This book is both funny and refreshingly candid. The story of Frankie's life comes with an undercurrent of racial and sexual confusion, seamlessly blending an atmosphere of bonhomie with one of incest. Occasionally becoming a prose poem detailing the torture of Sky News presenters, it remains witty and engaging. It is the perfect accompaniment to a beach holiday and to the strange metallic taste you often get in your mouth.In My Shit Life So Far there is also an already legendary sequence where Frankie is in a job much like yours and opportunistically murders two women in a motorway service station. This finally allows him to cry about his upbringing. You hold in your hands The Illiad of child murder. This book will make you attractive to hermaphrodites. They will ask you to club them senseless with it.

      I don't think anyone can have written an autobiography without at some point thinking, "Why would anyone want to know this shit?" I've always read them thinking, "I don't want to know where Steve Tyler grew up, just tell me how many groupies he f**ked!" So begins Frankie's outrageous, laugh-out loud, cynical rant on life as he knows it. From growing up in Pollockshaws, Glasgow ("It was an aching cement void, a slap in the face to Childhood, and for the family it was a step up."), to his rampant teenage sex drive ("In those days if you glimpsed a nipple on TV it was like porn Christmas."), and first job working in a mental hospital ("Where most evenings were spent persuading an old man in his pants not to eat a family-sized block of cheese."), nothing is out of bounds. Outspoken, outrageous, and brilliantly inappropriate, Frankie Boyle, the dark heart of <i>Mock the Week</i>, says the unsayable as only he can. From the TV programs he would like to see made (<i>Celebrities on Acid on Ice</i>: just like <i>Celebrity Dancing on Ice</i>, but with an opening sequence where Graham Norton hoses the celebrities down with liquid LSD"), to his native Scotland, and the Mayor of London ("Voting for Boris Johnson wasn't that different to voting for a Labrador wearing a Wonder Woman costume."), nothing and no one is safe from Frankie's fearless, sharp-tongued assault. Sharply observed and full of taboo-busting, we-really-shouldn't-be-laughing-at-this humor, <i>My Shit Life So Far</i> shows why Frankie Boyle really is the blackest man in show business.
