About this ebook

“A child’s garden of vices, My Booky Wook is also a relentless ride with a comic mind clearly at the wheel.... The bloke can write. He rhapsodizes about heroin better than anyone since Jim Carroll. With the flick of his enviable pen, he can summarize childhood thus: ‘My very first utterance in life was not a single word, but a sentence. It was, ‘Don’t do that.’... Russell Brand has a compelling story." — New York Times Book Review

The gleeful and candid New York Times bestselling autobiography of addiction, recovery, and rise to fame from Russell Brand, star of Forgetting Sarah Marshall and one of the biggest personalities in comedy today.

Ratings and reviews

Should be named a sucky suck.. That part where he said he went down on a crack dealer and that he stomped the crack because he knew he had to chane was heart warming a must buy a must read! A must! A need! For any book fiend! And if you dont like it you got 30minutes to redeem your money back you!

I love this book. This guy has some insight you just can't get from real adversity like growing up without arms. Did I already mention I read this book to my plants?

I would just love to make dinner with russell and have a wonderful conversation. He has a beautiful soul.
