The Life and Loves of a He Devil by Graham NortonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I think this is best "read" as an audio book as Norton narrates it. As the late Northern Irish comic Frank Carson used to say "it's the way you tell them". Norton's gift for story telling is absolutely how he says thing rather than what he says. He doesn't say anything thing profound in this book in which outlines his passions (hence the title) but narrates in such a way, you find yourself laughing out aloud at tales that in other hands would be mundane.
To be honest, it's like a lengthy version of his radio show without the celebrities or Maria McErlane (though, both are frequently referenced). Not a bad thing at all if you're an avid fan of the show (which I am).
Probably wouldn't have bought it if there hadn't been a e-book/audiobook deal, but still really enjoyed it.
