About this product
Product Information
The long-awaited autobiography from the man who's been at the heart of the entertainment establishment for 50 years 'I am what my childhood made me.' But what is that exactly, Gyles? Who are you? And why? In Odd Boy Out Gyles Brandreth provides an extraordinarily revealing account of growing up and coming of age in an apparently well-to-do but always strapped-for-cash middle-class English family. It is a story about the ordinary things - family life, happiness, ambition, and love, but it is also about adventures - meeting princes and presidents, visiting Death Row in America, exploring the sex clubs of Copenhagen. It is a story of a boy blessed with wit and what he got up to and the people he met growing up in the most wonderful city in all the world in those extraordinary years after the Second World War. For Odd Boy Out is about more than Gyles and his exploits- it is also a kaleidoscopic portrait of Britain from the 1950s onwards, featuring a cast drawn from politics, the media, swinging London, stage and screen, from Laurence Olivier to Twiggy. By turns hilarious and moving, and chock full of unforgettable stories, Odd Boy Out is the unexpected and candid autobiography of one of the country's most unlikely personalities. Yet at root it is a powerful and passionate exploration of childhood - how our heritage, our parents and our upbringing make us who we are.Product Identifiers

Typical Gyles B, Word Perfect!
Only a third of the way in, but finding it difficult to put it down. My only slight criticism is the Names/Dates repetition. The same thing took away much of my pleasure with my Deltic (Diesel Train) DVD. Other than that, a wonderful read!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
