I am a huge Billy Connolly fan & really enjoed Pamela's first book & looked forward to this. I have not read the book yet but enjoyed the audio very much. Pamela is an excellent writer & shares great insight into a very funny man. My only complaint is that the audio is abridged. As in the first book I'm sure much is left out that I would like to listen to often.
Entertaining look at a "year in the life" of Billy Connolly
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Arguably one of Scotland's most famous exports, Billy Connolly's life and adventures have been well documented in print, in his stage acts, and television shows created for British audiences. While not so well known in the US, he has been a huge star in Great Britain for decades. This book, lovingly written by his wife Pamela Stephenson, seems to take Billy's familiarity for granted. Rather oddly constructed for a biography, Bravemouth gives an interesting insight into their marriage and into Billy's evolving relationship with himself as he ages, cleans-up, and "embraces" Hollywood. The book focuses a great deal on their trips and in particular on Billy's extravagant 60th birthday party. More a "year in the life of" rather than a true biography, this is a witty and winning look at the irreverent Billy Connolly. Full of color photos, this will be a welcome read for any fan.
