   Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro.   ) Septima | Aug 21, 2021 |  Boyle relates his youth and some of the shenanigans of his university life, which, of course, included the times he secretly urinated in his room mates beer (I wonder if said former room mate read this book and realised he had been drinking essence of Boyle?) and his rise to fame via a number of bad television shows. If you can't see Boyle live then "My Shit Life So Far" may prove to be a good time waster. ( ) MiaCulpa | Jul 11, 2019 | Boyle is honest enough about the fact that he hasn't really done all that much interesting with his life, and that most of it has been spent under heavy influence of drugs and alcohol. It's funny - at times laugh-aloud funny - but isn't anything you wouldn't have already seen on TV. He's good with his words yes, but you do have to wonder why you are reading this. This book seems aimed at nobody and doesn't really serve a point. Still, it's a good laugh, and is worth a quick read if you need a quick pick-up.

 There is nothing much around these days that will make you laugh out loud pretty much every page. This book does just that.  An entertaining read then, as well as an earnest and revealing portrait of one of the country's finest comedians. As with his stand-up, Boyle cleverly keeps the emphasis on being funny, rather than likeable. It means that certain areas of his private life are fast-forwarded to make more room for the funny stuff... steering his writing away from self-indulgence or back-patting towards something altogether more bizarre, intelligent and abusively hilarious.
Ever since being brought up by The Beatles, Frankie Boyle has been a tremendous liar. Join him on his adventures with his chum Clangy The Brass Boy and laugh as he doesn't accidentally kill a student nurse when a party gets out of hand. 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 T.V. 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 Mock the Week, says the unsayable as only he can. From the TV programmes he would like to see made ('Celebrities On Acid On Ice: just like Celebrity Dancing On Ice, 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 humour, My Shit Life So Far shows why Frankie Boyle really is the blackest man in show business.
