Title: My Shit Life So Far
Author: Frankie Boyle
File Type: Mobi
Subject:Non-fiction:Humor
Description:Review'If you like Harry Potter and the Da Vinci Code, why are you even looking at this, you retard?' Jimmy Carr 'If you are suffocating in cosy Christmas cheer, this abrasively cynical, relentlessly misanthropic book might feel like a welcome faceful of ice-cold water straight out of the Clyde.' The Sunday Times 'Quite triumphantly, this is the most abusive, obscene, insulting memoir yet published!Many, many funny lines here. A difficult book to read sedately in public.' The Evening Standard 'He has a shocking, acid-tongued wit and his sharp observations make this one of the funniest autobiographies I've read.' The Sun 'an original mix of confession and stand-up monologue ! it's rather gratifying that it's outselling most of the books by more famous figures.' The Guardian 'a refreshing antidote to the usual feelgood books by TV stars.' The Independent 'My Shit Life So Far, showcases that cruel and unusual comedy that's become Frankie's trademark, and should probably be enjoyed far away from hot liquids! bizarre, intelligent and abusively hilarious.' strongstrong The List 'frequently funny.' Heat 'biting wit.' Independent on Sunday 'Fans of Boyle's dark style will hope this book provides laughs-a-plenty and an antidote to the play-it-safe, sickly sweet autobiographies of other so-called celebrities. They will not be disappointed.' Dave TV 'Only read this book in public if you have no qualms about blowing coffee through your nose in spurts of guilty laughter ! Punchier than a cage fighter, with more disclosures than an episode of Parky ! Addictive and expertly brutal.' Hotline Frankie's outrageous, laugh-out loud, cynical rant on life as he knows it is presented here in all its outrageous glory. From growing up in Pollockshaws, Glasgow—“it was an aching cement void, a slap in the face to childhood, and for the family it was a step up”—to his rampant teenage sex drive—“in those days if you glimpsed a nipple on T.V. it was like porn Christmas”—and first job working in a mental hospital, nothing is out of bounds. Outspoken, cynical, and always outrageous, Frankie Boyle, the dark heart of Mock the Week, says the unsayable as only he can. From the TV programs he would like to see made (“_Celebrities On Acid On Ice_—just like Celebrities Dancing On Ice, but with an opening sequence where Graham Norton hoses the celebrities down with liquid LSD”), to his native Scotland and the Mayor of London, nothing and no one is safe from Frankie's fearless, sharp-tongued assault. Sharply observed and full of taboo-busting, we-really-shouldn't-be-laughing-at-this humor, My Shit Life So Far shows why Frankie Boyle really is the blackest man in show business.

Description:
**When lightning strikes, lives are changed.**** **BECCA *On a sunny day in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, eight-year-old Becca Burke was struck by lightning. No one believed her—not her philandering father or her drunk, love-sick mother—not even when her watch kept losing time and a spooky halo of light appeared overhead in photographs. Becca was struck again when she was sixteen. She survived, but over time she would learn that outsmarting lightning was the least of her concerns.* BUCKLEY *In rural Arkansas, Buckley R. Pitank’s world seemed plagued by disaster. Ashamed but protective of his obese mother, fearful of his scathing grandmother, and always running from bullies (including his pseudo-evangelical stepfather), he needed a miracle to set him free. At thirteen years old, Buckley witnessed a lightning strike that would change everything.* Now an art student in New York City, Becca Burke is a gifted but tortured painter who strives to recapture the intensity of her lightning-strike memories on canvas. On the night of her first gallery opening, a stranger appears and is captivated by her art. Who is this odd young man with whom she shares a mysterious connection? When Buckley and Becca finally meet, neither is prepared for the charge of emotions—or for the perilous event that will bring them even closer to one another, and to the families they’ve been running from for as long as they can remember. Crackling with atmosphere and eccentric characters, *The Handbook for Lightning Strike Survivors* explores the magic of nature and the power of redemption in a novel as beautiful and unpredictable as lightning itself.
