by
Harry Hill
Harry Hill's unexpurgated diary of his year promises to do for the celebrity memoir what the Hadron Collider has done for particle acceleration. Think Samuel Pepys meets Katie Price.This frank and sometimes controversial diary details one hectic year in the eye of the showbiz storm, cut with a heavy mix of the day-to-day goings-on in Bexhill, where Harry lives at home with...more

Follow Harry through the year of 2010 where he has many escapades with his many showbiz pals, as well as his family - Mum, Uncle Bob, Dog and Nan. There are so many celebrities mentioned that there is a danger that this book might date quite badly in the future but I don't think Harry is that worried because he says (jokingly of course) that he is "fully aware that one day this book will be considered a hugely important historical document."

Livin' the Dreem : A Year in my Life...Probably is a book by the big collared, bald comedian Harry Hill and is ostensibly a diary of a year in his life, as it says in the title, but this being Harry Hill this is not an ordinary life that us mere mortals would have, but a rather strange life that only could emenate from the surreal mind of Harry Hill.

This is a very funny spoof celebrity memoir full of Harry Hill's surreal humour. For example, Harry tells us what happened when Morrisey represented the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest and confirms that the UK Coalition Government was formed when the party leaders went on Cilla's Blind Date. As you read it you can hear Harry Hill reading it in your head - or perhaps that's just me.
A funny, clever read.

A brilliant account of a year in the life of Harry Hill. He lives with his mother and a troubled dog, spends Christmas with Amanda Holden and (briefly) finds love for Susan Boyle.
Livin' The Dreem is very funny. Lots of name dropping and creepily, I could hear Harry Hill's voice saying the words as I read.

Split between a 3 and a 4 as it is pretty fun and a good parody.
However I chose 3 because it is simply not as good or inventive as his novel(ish) Flight From Deathrow which is complete genius and much more compelling as a book and piece of surreal humour.
Still worth a read if you are a Harry Hill fan.

Livin' The Dreem is a (presumably) fictional account of a year in the life of doctor/comedian Harry Hill. It was almost creepy to read because I could hear his voice saying the words as I read them. A fair few funny moments and a nice, nonsensical read.
Not my thing
