Unlike other celeb books, this book doesn’t come across as a vanity project although it is indeed Billy’s story, but he intercepts it with jokes and anecdotes, much the way he does on stage. Each story is broken down into separate chapters with a little humour featured even in the darker aspects of his life. He includes a lovely collection of images too.✍️ This book had it all for me, several pages were just heart-breaking, some were really uplifting and some inspired you to take a walk down memory lane. Some stories I already felt connected to as I remembered watching him do it on various shows and others were a fresh revelation, but both were equally captivating. So many of the stories stay with you long after you have stopped reading the pages.👓 One of my favourite things about this book was the fact that it genuinely made me laugh out loud. I even found myself copying some of the excerpts and sending them to friends who I knew would find it hilarious too. I read this book in just two days (and could have possibly completed it in one), it was so enjoyable and engrossing I didn’t want to put it down. It was quite strange that you could almost hear Billy’s voice as you read it, which added to the humour.🗣 I often think it’s useful to see an extract from a book to get an idea of the writing style. Here is a brief extract so that you can see a sample of the writing yourself:… these days bean-bag chairs are the least of my worries – ANY chair is a big challenge. I get trapped and can’t get up. My physiotherapist taught me to rock back and forth to build momentum, but that’s dangerous, because I fart more than when I was younger. I don’t know why. I just do. And the most acute farting risk is when I’m getting up out of a chair. Bbbbbbbbbrrrrrrggggghhhhhh!!! The rocking just accentuates it. I got myself a leather chair because I thought it would squeak by itself and cover the farting … but nothing covers these thunderclaps. BBBBBRRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!💭 Overall View: Smart, witty, sarcastic, honest, yet still with a positive message and full of love. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars If you love Billy this book is for you *by S*** on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 July 2024* Wow what an amazing book, reading this book it was like Billy was reading it to me himself, reading about his life and how he became the man he is it was both sad and funny but a blooming good read.If you wanna know more about Billy Connolly in his own words this book is definitely for you. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful autobiography... With one caveat *by F***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 March 2022* I have been a fan of the 'big yin' for as long as I can remember and can strictly identify with him culturally as well as with his personal struggles. He has always been to of my list of people I'd have loved to meet - highly unlikely now unfortunately.I massively looked forward to his own personal autobiography, as whilst in had lapped up previous writings on the man, I wanted to hear directly from him.I thoroughly recommend this book for its candour, its brutal honesty about that which he has enjoyed of his career, and the baggage he carries with him personally. He not just narrates his experiences, but makes as much sense as he can of them, and it is this accumulated wisdom that makes him such a fascinating character.So, why for stars instead of five? Well, oddly enough - given that he is a world class comedian - I thought the funnies to be a bit laboured and perfunctory, as well as over familiar. It seemed that he wanted to write a serious book about his life and his reflections of 'what it all means', and in that territory it is excellent and hugely thought-provoking for anyone to read. However, I suspect someone - perhaps even himself - has suggested that a Billy Connolly book needs witty anecdotes at certain points, and so he plopped in a few familiar ones to satisfy that need. I think he should have gone with fresh ones if they occurred, or left out those that everyone has heard before.... Anyway, that said, a brilliant book overall. Very much recommend it for all who have traveled a complicated path in life. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.de/products/454148247-windswept-and-interesting-my-autobiography](https://www.desertcart.de/products/454148247-windswept-and-interesting-my-autobiography) --- *Product available on Desertcart Germany* *Store origin: DE* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
