    Yeah, big time. When I heard he was reading it himself I preordered it and loaded it up on day one.

    The first part where he describes the conditions he grew up in was fascinating stuff. How he got into drama in a town that wouldn’t normally stomach it, the folks that supported him, meeting Brian Blessed etc. was really cool. I ate it up. Probably cleaned 50% more than an average week just to keep it rolling. :D

    Then we got to the nasty bit. I was fairly shocked while listening to it and it just totally flavoured the rest of the book for me. I just couldn’t get past the “yeah, you’re a prick” feeling.

    Like fine if the marriage isn’t working out, it happens. Go and get your divorce then move on, but the way he went about it was filthy. I mostly just wanted to get to the end after it.

    I did look up the video where himself and his current partner are having a roll (MDMA) and that was funny to see.
