Baddiel writes with a comic’s fluency and timing … In giving us the full, unvarnished picture, Baddiel has done his parents proud’ Guardian

‘Outrageously funny…profoundly thoughtful’ The Sunday Times

‘A joy from beginning to end; beautifully written, deeply moving, incredible funny’ Daily Mail

Such an extraordinary, hilarious book’ Observer

‘Explosively funny, brilliantly written, David’s family story becomes more and more incredible with every page’ David Walliams, author of Astrochimp

‘A must-read, must-buy. Laugh out loud funny – and moving. The read of the summer’ The Sunday Times

‘Deeply funny and intensely moving’ Dani Shapiro, author of Signal Fires
