 Very, very poor January 26, 2008

Idiotic, uninformed, arrogant, obnoxious - it's a wonder that a man who's written a book as bad as this could have reached as far as Chris Moyles has done. But that's how it goes. Just because he can talk the talk doesn't mean to say he can write....!

Thin, obnoxious book by a fat obnoxious man. This bloated mess seems to only have a lust for attention and money, and will do anything to get it. Whoever published this tripe should hang their heads in shame, that they would pay someone for the rights to print this. I mean, he confesses himself he put no thought or effort into 'writing' (should read, narrating to someone else), so why should be spend our time and money reading this.
Truly, reading really should be educational, or entertaining, or artistic. This is none of those three, and should never have seen the light of day. It pains me to think of genuine authors, who cannot be published because the market is saturated with this junk.
And it is you, reader, who is responsible, for actually buying this! I can only imagine this sort of guff will appeal to those of 'below average intelligence', like the man himself.
Disappointing Gift January 13, 2008

I bought this as a last minute christmas gift for my husband, thinking that the book would be witty and clever! I admit that I don't listen to Radio One so perhaps I should have known better.
My husband received the book well on christmas morning and was looking forward to commencing his read later on that evening. As planned, he sat with his book and proceeded to digest the first few pages. I asked how it was and he answered "it's ok".
When we went to bed I took the book upstairs so that I myself could have a sneaky read. Well, I have never been so disappointed with a book before! The style of writing was childish and unimaginative with very basic sentences and turned potentially exciting stories into dull and boring tales. It turned out that my husband agreed but didn't initially want to hurt my feelings.
I would say that whoever you are, you should not write a book if you don't have the skills to do so. Perhaps Chris should have had a ghost writer after all?

This really is appalling garbage. For my sins I used to work in publishing and wasted much of my life reading atrocious bilge. This takes the biscuit. Shame on all involved.

More copy and paste tripe from the man that talks more about less than anyone else on the planet.
It will probably appeal to middle aged men who drive white vans and don't get much attention from members of the opposite sex...
My main dislike of Moyles is that he has possibly the best job in the country, is paid hansomely (630,000 according to the Guardian website) for it and yet chooses to fill his show (and Books) with a stream of constant drivel. Virtually everything that comes out of his mouth is educationally insulting, irrellevant, immature, uninformed, dull or just downright offensive.
Moyles acts and behaves like an over-weight eleven year old - even employing his own playground bully tactics. He berates his listeners/ readers (especially the ones who phone up), his posse, he regularly annoys the newsreaders, slags off other DJ's and he picks verbal spats with other 'celebrities' who can't answer back.
I realise that he appears to deliver all these things in a knowing, 'ironic' manner but saying 'only kidding' after everything is no excuse for his base behaviour and doesn't set a great example to any kids who are listening. Next time the Daily Mail/Express start banging on about who is responsible for dumbing down Britain I'd personally point them in Moyles' direction.
There is a often heard claim that he is the sweetest person off-air, so why not show it on-air? Maybe the 'real Moyles is funny, inventive and charming. To be honest I don't believe it. The BBC ran an internal survey to judge the stress levels of all of its employees last year and Aled (Chris' personal assistant) scored the highest - what does that tell you about the man? Ho hum.
Chris Moyles is probably one of the worst presenters (and writer) ever, he talks alot crap and plays very little music. Most the time he and his patsies talk about their exciting lifestyles and project how cool it would to be them.
