Easily Distracted

Steve Coogan

Having read it

★★★★

Funny and makes a few things about his life clearer and even funnier!

A good passage

Humourless, enlightened liberals bring out the fascist in me. Pete and I just wanted to leave, but we had to listen to the tanned guy’s idea. He had Alan working in a chip shop in Norfolk. Alan has to travel the world to find true love and eventually realises his true love was working alongside him in the chip shop all along.

A second good passage

I wanted to make public the behind-the-scenes behaviour of some journalists who think ‘ethics’ is where Page 3 girls with lisps come from – either that or they are pressurised into finding stories with no-questions-asked methods to satisfy editors and proprietors. It has everything to do with profit margins and nothing to do with freedom of expression.
