    I got it but I'm only half way through it myself. My heart was going out to him though when I was reading the chapters about his upbringing in the varous homes. It painted a very tough and bleak picture for any young child to go through that.

    I'm enjoying it though and would read it all in one go if I had the time.

    Just finished reading it , shows what a nice man he can be if all them people are willing to put up with so much especially Mick Byrne and Jim Walker. overall its really sad reading about a man and an illness that controls him.

    Just started reading it, very insightful and honest. fair play to Paul for having the bravery to admit to his problems.
