So Me

By Graham Norton

Book Overview

Graham Norton, whose impish charm and quick wit has earned him a place in our hearts, looks back at his life so far. In his own words, SO ME is 'a real romp through a journey from living in a cockroach-infested council flat in Hackney to buying Claudia Schiffer's townhouse in Manhattan, from my mother dragging me to school to me dragging her to Sharon Stone's house for New Year's brunch'. From a not-so miserable Irish childhood to dropping out of Cork University and joining a commune of hippies in San Francisco, from his disastrous attempts at becoming a serious actor to the rise of his comedy career in London, this is a hilarious, insightful and moving account of a colourful life.

Customer Reviews

Surprisingly well-written and highly entertaining!

Graham becomes all the more endearing in this open and amazingly-revealing autobiography. Even the traumatic parts are seen through his never-ending wit. It's a hard book to put down.

He's just soooo glamourous!!!!

Graham Norton."SO ME" reads just like watching Graham Norton. If you have ever seen Graham perform live...you will understand. He is a very personable performer and spends a lot of time with the audience between takes. He's witty, naughty and super fun! This book is just the same! Enjoy!

Very Funny

Graham Norton gives us a truly hilarious insight into his life so far. There are amusing anecdotes throughout the book particulary about his time at Cork University. His disastrous attempts at becoming a serious actor (Father Ted excluded) through to the meteoric rise of his comedy career. Graham says that this is "a romp through a journey from living in a a cockroach-infested council flat to buying Claudia Schiffer's townhouse in Manhattan." You don't have to be a fan of Norton to enjoy this offering. All in all it is a real success story.
