"Passionate and furiously funny - Andy Kershaw is unfailingly fearless." - Dame Ann Leslie
"A staggeringly good read. It takes a lot for me to laugh heartily. I'll be stealing openly from it. This book is magnificent." - Nigel Blackwell, Half Man Half Biscuit
"Andy Kershaw's memoir zooms along with the high-velocity recklessness of a TT racer. It's impossible not to cheer him on as he accelerates round the hairpin bends of his life, yelling hilarious defiance at anyone who tries to stop him." – Francis Wheen
"He's always wired himself up to the action. A very entertaining book. Keep it goin', Andy!" - Ralph Steadman
'Fabulously well-written - the wit, the brimming enthusiasm and the outrage all come direct from the broadcasting voice' --James Medd, Word Magazine
"The boy wonder has survived it all and this thoroughly absorbing journal bears witness to that. Kershaw's integrity and humility shines throughout. I couldn't put this down." - Blues & Soul
"Hilaroiusly opinionated" - The Independent

"It's his ability to convey a sense of moment-by-moment aliveness that makes Andy Kershaw, the greatest living English-language broadcaster... He's an intermittent eruption, making everything before and after sound as if it were made by zombies." - Toby Litt, New Statesman.

"Andy Kershaw is such an enthusiast. He made me travel a little further than I normally do. He has an ability to do things first and ask questions afterwards. Not a recipe for a safe, secure life, maybe, but it makes things a lot more interesting for the rest of us!" Michael Palin
