“My Booky Wook” by Russell Brand

Ahh… how refreshing.  I happily finished Russell Brand’s Booky Wook ready to read “My Booky Wook 2.”  I very much like Russell Brand.  He’s hilarious, and so was this book.  I knew he was a recovering addict (of all shapes and sizes) but these stories are incredible.  He is legitimately a badass and proves it in this book.  There’s a chance that anybody can end up in a spiral of drugs and addiction, especially after your mom fights cancer three times, your dad’s kind of a dick, and you bounce around houses as a kid.  Lucky for us, this drug addict happened to be effing hilarious and survived the whole ordeal to tell us all about it.  He’s also quite a talented writer.  Don’t be fooled by his childish personality and goofy accent.  This was one of the better written biographies I’ve read.  Highly recommended.  I will soon read the sequel and I still maintain (contrary to everyone else’s beliefs) that he and Katy Perry will last…for a while.
