Title: Paul Henry Post by: guest49 on June 21, 2012, 09:13:21 pm Just finished reading Paul Henrys autobio - "What Was I Thinking"
As a rule, I hate biographies, and avoid them like the plague, but I was given this by the stepson, so I gritted the teeth and started in. What a surprisinglygood read. I would never call him humble, but the book is written in a self-deprecating style that I found really engaging. In retrospect, I guess I should have expected it though. I recommend it.

I suppose shyness and modesty don't go together with extrovert entertainer. ;D

I recommend it. I bought it the week it was released. I read it about 3 sessions and loved it. What I am baffled by is as a Foreign Correspondent - how the hell did he manage to get through all of his escapades and survive? I love Paul Henry - he's completely and utterly unPC. He pushes the boundaries and then some. My copy of the book is doing the rounds. I have a waiting list of people wanting to read it. Excellent read! |
