Title: for billy fans only
Product review: Above all else, a good biography has to make you care about the subject. This one didn't, and that is doubly sad, as it is written by Billy's wife, Pamela. His Dickensian childhood is depressing, and the convoluted cast of family members is confusing. The prose styling is competent, but the sluggish pace of the book causes it to collapse under its own weight. I wound up skimming the last half (thank you Evelyn Wood!) The cover proclaims this to be a best seller, but I assume that was in England. Unless you are a real fan of Billy Connolly, I would skip this one.
