I love Peter Kaye and expected the book to be amazing. But it was better than any expectations I had. Amazing.

Cure for depression!!

I am just so lucky I did not get pulled over for distracted driving while laughing to tears listening to this book!! There are serious poignant moments as well that only contribute to how genuine Peter Kay is while reading his book. It really feels as if he is in the car next to you when he goes off script and shares down to earth conversations. I love comedians and humor but this man is in a league of his own. I think....... the funniest guy on the planet!
Side note..... if you are feeling blue... Look up Peter Kay on youtube. So funny:)
