Brian Blessed

Easily 4.5 ⭐️ for this forceful, good-natured and exuberant memoir, jam-packed with minutely recalled and often hilarious anecdotes from Brian Blessed’s South Yorkshire, WWII-era childhood, and his long career on the stage and screen. I probably would have gone 5 ⭐️ but for one or two stories that left me a little

Such an interesting life and so many amusing anecdotes. I'm so glad Brian Blessed narrated it himself, it is simply wonderful listening. Just be careful where you listen, it can be quite distracting.

The greatest audiobook in existence.

I could only read this in short bursts as he's imposing and loud and terribly funny. It reads like him regaling you with his deeds and holding court. He is opinionated and sweary and a lot of fun.

I enjoyed it.
