About this listen

For more than four decades, Jim Piddock has navigated the turbulent waters of Broadway and Hollywood as an actor and a writer. In this highly entertaining and witty account of his journey, from a small village in England, to the heady heights of the Hollywood Hills, he pulls back the curtain, with remarkable honesty and humor, to reveal what really goes on behind the scenes in the entertainment industry. But underneath this lighthearted, irreverent romp through the world of show business - and Jim's involvement with Crystal Palace Football Club in his spare time - lie some deeper reflections and the incisive conclusions on what the real meaning of family is, how to make destiny-defining choices, and the importance of living life to the fullest.

I rarely take the time to write reviews of books, despite having a rather large library now, but this one stood out for me.

Jim has had a fascinating life and has some terrific stories to tell, many will make you laugh out loud, some will bring a tear to your eye. The whole book is written with much humility and humour and narrated in only the way Jim could.

I urge you to add this book to your library, it’s a great listen and to add to that, every penny of profit is being donated to charity, more proof in case you need it of the kind of man Jim is.

Thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish

MR Piddock, writes a rollicking, honest story of his life from England to Hollywood and how to survive. There is humor and honesty intertwined. It is a pleasurable read.

Rollercoaster ride of an actor’s life, narrated with warmth and humour. Laugh out loud funny and tender at the same time.

Loved it!

A rollercoaster of laughter and tears but mainly laughter. I found the audio book best as Jim put his own slant on things. Worth every penny/cent that goes to the two charities. One being my beloved Palace.

A great listen.

This was a thoroughly enjoyable listen - and not only that, there all sorts of things I learned that I had been completely unaware of. It was funny but also rather moving at times. I would recommend this book, especially as an Audible, read by the author himself 🥰 - who better?

This is a wonderful biography, narrated by the author. I wasn't sure that this would be my type of book as I am not usually attracted by autobiographies, but in this case a personal recommendation and the many positive reviews persuaded me to give it a try. I am so glad I did. It's laugh out loud funny in places and extremely moving in others (notably the chapters dealing with the loss of a close friend in a fire and Jim's struggles to start a family).

As you might expect from an actor, the performance is excellent. Recommended.

Entertaining, funny and moving

Jim has made me feel like a good friend having shared his story so far. It wouldn't be the same if he hadn't narrated it. Trying to live in the moment. Thanks Jim.

Funny and heart felt

Wonderfully told and narrated by the author. The book moves along with great stories at a fantastic pace. A good mix of the funny, thought provoking and observation about life in Hollywood.

So enjoyable…..
