What do You think about My Booky Wook 2: This Time It's Personal (2010)?
I expected a clever, entertaining memoir culminating in how Russel had now turned his back on his lecherous ways to settle down with the beautiful Katy Perry.Instead, it is a self-indulgent sex-tale of not at all clever sexual anecdotes that left me feeling that I was wrong to ever have respected Russel's intellect in the first place.I do enjoy his television appearances but he does seem to have become a bit too self-important since American success. The book was full of this self-importance told in a false modesty style. It does indeed end, as I predicted, with a statement that this was his life but his new life would be with Katy, thrown in like an afterthought to not get him in trouble with the missus! By the time I finished the book they had split up and filed for divorce anyway. What a self-indulgent waste of time!

I really enjoyed Russell's sequel to Booky Wook. Although I didn't find it as interesting or humorous as the original, I found that it was still both of those things. I feel like he writes about his flaws quite honestly and without sensor. I also always appreciate a book that has words I need to look up. It's a rare trait these days. The only downside to the book was reading of his love for a woman he ultimately divorced.

Not as good as the first, but still good. Laugh out loud funny at points.

Entertaining book for a while, but not terribly likeable

If at all possible it was better than the first book.
