Funny and as you would expect long and engaging.

Many, many stories about people who were on his show. Loved it (

An entertaining autobiography of someone who largely met his ambitions, apart from playing cricket for Yorkshire, meeting and interviewing most of his boyhood heroes of music and film, two of his greatest passions. A well-written, amusing life story, although a bit strange the text always refers to men's trousers as pants, I'm sure they don't say that in Yorkshire! (

Entertaining read, with a number of good anecdotes. (

I loved the Parkinson TV show growing up. His guests were usually funny and the interviews were entertaining. I enjoyed the book a bit slow in parts but live isn;t always fast paced. He seemed to go from one thing to another with little planning. If you enjoyed the show you'll enjoy the book. I didn't realise he spent so much time in Australia. (

An interesting insight into the professional life of Michael Parkinson, focussing on the influences of cricket, media and celebrities, and what made him the man he is today. A typical autobiography with some personal family emotional insights. A fairly short read, easy language, and lots of photos. Not amazing, but does what it says on the tin - if you admire or respect the man, it's worth a read. (
