I love Jezza.
I thought it was quite interesting to see into some of the more personal aspects of his life and learn more about him and his family.
Some of his writing was actually quite funny and I found it overly enjoyable and not a hard read.
But like I said- I love Jezza.

Amazing man with great ideas that could change the UK for the better!

I disagree with Shero who has previously posted a negative review on this book here. I can’t admit to being a massive fan of Kyle on TV but I do admit that half of what he speaks about in the book is true. I don’t find this book ‘bigs up’ Kyle per say rather it ‘bigs down’ completely the cultural state of the UK at the moment – something that most of us Brits may possibly agree with. A major message of the book hints at the fact that members of society should take more responsibility in their own lives for their own health, happiness and in making things better. This book is always going to have less appeal to the moral higher-ground who take a personal stance against Kyle but it should appeal to some of us who bemoan certain aspects of law and order and British society. It also charts Kyle’s own rise as a cult/hate figure (something he is under no illusion of) but is not celebrity nor self-obsessed. In my very humble opinion, it does bring much to the table and provides the reader with some common-sense food for thought – whatever their station in life - as a quick and easy read.

After reading Jeremy's 1st book..............I'm only being honest............ I was unsure if this book would meet my expectations.
However it proved to be a really good read, and gave me a good insight into the man who is Jeremy Kyle.

This book took some getting through but I finished it in the end!!! Very good, just lots of small chapters giving his opinion on life, better than what I thought it might be :-)
