paul o'grady, the biography, neil simpson - By: Ms. Ads Krstic, 03 Aug 2008 
i thought it was a good read,in fact i read itin fewer than 48 hours. however i thought that most of it was more descriptive than factual.
i think it lacks some of the details that i have read before.
at the same time, i could recognise & had already read a lot of the book's content elsewhere. as i have been to several shows, i think i have seen a different side to paul, than the one which is portrayedin the book.
an interesting insight into the creation of Lily Savage - By: sm, 29 Jun 2008 
The book provides a lot of unknown information showing Pauls' childhood,teenage years & adulthood.Producing a daughter at sixteen,living aroung the world & losing his Parents tragically are all explainedin the book.It's interesting to read how Lily was created & the wealth that this caricature made for Paul.However,though Paul has many facets to his stage presence,he will always be known for Lily.I would recommend this book to fans but it lacks appeal for a wider audience.
Paul o grady autobiography - By: J. E. Northover, 05 May 2008 
I was very impressed with his life story it was a good read
A special Man - By: Mrs. Barbara Vaughan, 04 May 2008 This is the story of someone very special indeed. His childhood & his later years are vividly described & many times made me laugh out loud. There is heartbreak here too & ill health which has dogged Paul. He has not allowed this to stop him & the book flows like a river carrying the reader through the many ups & downs of his life so far. A book that is well worth reading with it's depth of feeling.
Britain's got talent - By: variety fan, 27 Apr 2008 What's the connection between the grandfatherly paul o grady on his chat show today & the mad old lilly savage from the 80's? It's the amazing characters Paul knew when he was a boy, his need to escape from reality when he got to london & his simple love of talented variety performers. Lily was a means to & end. The real Paul O Grady is the one we see on TV today & he's a surprisingly more thoughtful & quieter individual than I had expected. There's a lot of sadnessin his life, &in this book. But it's made me an even bigger fan. My only question - why isn't he a judge on Britain's Got Talent - he'd be brilliant!
