Buzzin': The Nine Lives of a Happy Monday

Product Information

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Mark Berry is the kid who clambered up on stage to dance with the band and never climbed down again.

Equally, we’re ‘there along with’ Mark B, rather than observing his antics laterally, as we do with some autobiographies. Loved reading about his career , near misses fighting the establishment and the way he's tried standing up for what he believes in and his way of living now.

No one’s claiming that Bez wrote all of this: some of it sounds dictated (‘That bloke out the Stones, Ron Wood’) and some edited (‘to whom’), but Andrew Perry has done a fair job of licking it into shape, so that you can still hear it being read in Bez’s own voice. Neither an accomplished musician nor even a very good dancer, Bez was a prime candidate for fleeting celebrity, soon to sink into 'Where Are They Now? Don't get me wrong it's a fun read at times but the Mondays stories are starting to wear a bit thin now. Helpful asides from Shaun Ryder and others, including Berry’s son Arlo who proves fairly lucid – opportunity for another book? We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others.

Having been in danger of becoming the rowdy kid in another class at school that nobody liked (although MB admits to skating over much of this, having covered it more in an earlier book), his public image proves nonetheless likeable to loads of people, which is why he won Celebrity Big Brother - and why I bought this book.

Also at the beginning he states he's not going to go on about criminal activities again because he doesn't want his kids reading it.
