One of the most unusual autobiographies I've read. I haven't read that many but this one stands out from the rest because of what I would call its quirky content. Not a straight up autobiography by any means and perhaps one that appeals more to readers from the British Isles.

I thoroughly enjoyed parts of the book, in particular, his early childhood years in Wales, his friendship with Len Doherty at the Sheffield Star, and his mother's and father's last years. These were quite memorable. Much of the rest was, for me, a bit of a miss. There were some very amusing anecdotes here and there but overall I didn't share much of the author's sense of humor.

Unfortunately, I also found a few chapters just plain dull, while others were pretty much beyond my comprehension i. This was likely due to my lack of familiarity with British or Welsh social customs and culture in the decades and locations being discussed. My apologies to Byron for that.
