Title: silly about billy
Product review: Never has so little been made of so much. As a psychological profile of a complex man who has reached great heights depsite awful childhood abuse, the book is worthless. As a biography, it is sketchy and hardly to be taken seriously. Moreover, it is not always accurate, which is amazing given his wife being the author; for example, in the film "The Impostors," Billy Connolly played a wrestler on a cruise ship not a tennis player on a train, as stated in the book. That is not even the worst of the book; most grating is the constant, very often unnecessary name dropping -- we are obviously supposed to be impressed with the list of Billy and Pamsy's friends. It's too bad, I have followed and enjoyed Billy Connolly's work since the 1970's and he is a marvellous and unique talent and would make a wonderful subject for a true biographer and someone who could write. What a waste.
