Oh dear! I read this book in November last year, can’t believe it’s been that long since I wrote something on here! Oops.

Anyhow, this is not surprisingly the autobiography of current Radio 2 Breakfast Show host, and sometime bad-boy, Chris Evans - up to a point anyway, this is just Part One with Part Two due later in the year I think.

Like most people, I became aware of Mr Evans when The Big Breakfast hit our screens as the antidote to the dullness of BBC News and TV-AM or whatever was on ITV back then.  For some strange reason, I can still remember getting up a little bit earlier to watch that first show - no idea why!

My second graphic novel after Watchmen earlier in the year and I think I could really get to like these!

My biggest gripe is that, compared to a “normal” book, they aren’t as good value for money from a longevity point of view. Of course the time that has gone into not only developing the story but also bringing it to life in the illustrations can’t be questioned and as a bit of a change from the norm, they also provide welcome relief.

Is there anything that still needs to be said? Anyone out there who doesn’t actually have a copy of this on their house?

Given the sales figures I somehow doubt it!!

Some people are no doubt disappointed by it, others will love it - I’m somewhere in between. It’s typical Dan Brown stuff, and I don’t mean that as a criticism.

This book is brilliant - stop reading this drivel and go buy it now!

If someone presented this tale to you and told you they had just made it up, it was a figment of their imagination then you would read it and enjoy it but at the back of your mind you would probably think that at times it had gone a bit too far, it was a bit too far-fetched from reality. Some of the stuff which happens would never happen in real-life would it?

I struggled with this book to be honest.

There are some things in life that just pass me by. I went to see The Matrix at the cinema and didn’t have a clue what was going on after about 5 minutes - if that! It was much the same with this book too, and I was sorely tempted to give up and start something else but I stuck with it and I’m kinda glad I did.
