The Gospel According To Chris Moyles

James very kindly gave this to me for Christmas. It is Chris Moyles’s first book and is not a full autobiography. It is just the story of his career as a DJ. He doesn’t really touch on personal stuff at all which was a bit of a disappointment as the one thing I was hoping for was to hear a bit more about his girlfriend Sophie and how they got together etc.

This book is definitely for people who like him already. I can imagine most of my friends hating him, however I unashamedly do listen to him every weekday morning on Radio 1 and he suceeds in making me laugh. I also listen to his podcast when walking home from work and that makes me laugh too. His book wasn’t concentrating on being funny…I can imagine him writing something like that in the future ala Jeremy Clarkson. This book was about his story and it was interesting for a fan.

I give this book for my enjoyment factor an 7.5 out of 10. For writing quality and length it probably comes to no more than a 1 out of 10 but hey, it’s his first book and he’s a DJ not an author! It was obviously all for the money but I enjoyed it.
