Book Description
Sequel to the 'book of the year' million-copy bestseller, BILLY

Synopsis
Billy, the ground-breaking biography of the nation's favourite iconoclast, gave millions of readers a fascinating insight into the personal and professional life of the genius that is Billy Connolly. Now, in the sequel to that bestselling book, the award-winning Pamela Stephenson celebrates life with the Scottish beastie as he hits the big six-oh. Here we relive colourful and epic moments from Billy's early life in Glasgow - the background to an intimate portrait of his marriage with Pamela and his life in Scotland, LA and the rest of the world. Witty, insightful and intimate, Bravemouth draws the reader into two very different worlds - hers of international sexology and the serious psychology of humorists, his of incontinence pants, being married to a shrink...and the finer points of banjo playing.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   16 of 16 people found the following review helpful: Poor contrast to Billy..., 9 Dec 2003 By A Customer This review is from: Bravemouth: Living with Billy Connolly (Hardcover) Billy was an excellent book, a rags to riches story of a kind, brave and generous man. Unfortunately Bravemouth is a riches and more riches story, covering a recent year in the Scottish comics life. Whilst it still highlights at times what a great man Billy Connolly is, because of the lifestyle he and his wife have now earned unfortunately the book is more an insight into how the rich and famous live than anything. If you want to understand Billy Connolly and how he has become the man he is today, read Billy. If you want to know what it's like to be part of a family of a celebrity, read Bravemouth.   10 of 11 people found the following review helpful: Not for Billy Connolly fans, 2 Nov 2006 By  Ben Clark "pimpthehoes2001" (Scotland) - See All My Reviews    The previous comments sum this book up perfectly. I bought a book about Billy Connolly to read about Billy Connolly. Who cares about Pamela Stephenson's own travels through India? How she chooses to decorate the interior of her Maltese house? How she misses Australia so much, especially the food? The history of the Maltese Knights of Valletta? How she began her stage career at 5 years old in a ballet production of the teddy bear's picnic? and wet herself on stage? How she once had to do a scene that involved taking down someones trousers on TV? Her experiences feeding sharks in Bora Bora? Who cares? I dont want to know any of this stuff, but I have to wade through pages of it to get to the good stuff. She spends pages telling you how she researched transgendered people in Samoa! People who cut their own genitals off. She basically rehashes stuff that she has read in a other book, passing it off as professional research, and you are never going to forget that she is a psychologist because she reminds you of that fact at least once every 2 pages, and on the back cover. At least 30% of this book has nothing whatsoever to do with Billy Connolly. This book is a vehicle for her, and its such a shame as, the events in Billy Connolly's 60th year sound so interesting. If only she would stick to the point, and realise that being married to an interesting person does not make your life interesting too.   9 of 10 people found the following review helpful: What a shame, 1 Feb 2006 By A Customer Billy Connolly is brilliant. I love his cutting, flamboyant, insightful and wonderfully funny sense of humour. What I do not like is his dear wife using a book supposedly about him to tell us all about herself and her experiences. And that sums this book up really. I'm sure Pamela is a very interesting woman, but I want to hear about Billy. › See all 12 customer reviews...		Most Recent Customer Reviews The title is "Living With Billy Connolly" so to me it seems reasonable that the book has been written by and from his wife's view and experiences.
