[Dark-Draco · Rating 2 out of 5]

I wasn't sure what to expect from this book - maybe an autobiography from one of my favourite singers from when I was younger - but this isn't really that. Instead, Cliff takes stories from the bible, retells them, then gives a short explanation of why they mean so much to him. Interesting, in its own way, but I didn't feel there was anything hugely new or revealing here. In fact, some of what Cliff writes comes across as a bit trite, a bit of regurgitated 'wisdom', rather than an deep exploration of what it means to be a Christian. Some of the cartoons are quite amusing though! An ok read to dip in and out of.

Honestly, I wasn't expecting to like this. The only reason I started reading it is that it was on a shelf of books out of which I had read everything else and having one unread book bothered me (and my mum, who owns the book, is a massive Cliff Richard fan, haha!). But it was actually pleasant. Cliff Richard came across as a sweet person and his opinions on religion, Christianity and, well, Jesus came across as reasonable and reasonably okay. It's probably not the first book I'd recommend to anybody, but I did like it.

If you simply must start vomiting immediately, open this book. With the utter bile on each page, spontaneous dry-heaving followed by the lumpy loss of your lunch is guaranteed.
