 an interesting insight into the creation of Lily Savage June 29, 2008
The book provides a lot of unknown information showing Pauls' childhood,teenage years and adulthood.Producing a daughter at sixteen,living aroung the world and losing his Parents tragically are all explained in the book.It's interesting to read how Lily was created and the wealth that this caricature made for Paul.However,though Paul has many facets to his stage presence,he will always be known for Lily.I would recommend this book to fans but it lacks appeal for a wider audience.

A special Man May 4, 2008

This is the story of someone very special indeed. His childhood and his later years are vividly described and many times made me laugh out loud. There is heartbreak here too and ill health which has dogged Paul. He has not allowed this to stop him and the book flows like a river carrying the reader through the many ups and downs of his life so far. A book that is well worth reading with it's depth of feeling.
Britain's got talent April 27, 2008
What's the connection between the grandfatherly paul o grady on his chat show today and the mad old lilly savage from the 80's? It's the amazing characters Paul knew when he was a boy, his need to escape from reality when he got to london and his simple love of talented variety performers. Lily was a means to and end. The real Paul O Grady is the one we see on TV today and he's a surprisingly more thoughtful and quieter individual than I had expected. There's a lot of sadness in his life, and in this book. But it's made me an even bigger fan. My only question - why isn't he a judge on Britain's Got Talent - he'd be brilliant!
 A good read April 11, 2008

I am a big fan of Paul O' Grady and his wonderful creation Lily Savage so when I saw this book, I just had to give it a go.
It's brilliantly written, some rare photographs included and contains a lot of great stories however Paul's own autobiography when it's finally published will be far more the superier read so be sure to pick up for copy of it as well as this entertaining biography.
I can recommened this book to all Paul fans even though a lot more probably has happend in Paul's life than what is covered here but this really should satisfy those fans who just can wait to for Paul's autobiography.
I hope you found this review helpful.
