Description

The autumn 2002 publication of Ruby Wax's memoirs was greeted with shock- and delighted acclaim. In the tradition of the best memoirs, such as The Moon's a Balloon, Billy, and Ruby Wax Revealed, surprised and captured the public more than was ever predicted. How do you Want Me? was critically acclaimed as brutally honest, vivid and gripping. Ruby Wax's unflinching revelation of a childhood poisoned, and a youth spoiled, culminates in a moving account of her breakdown and recovery.

But How Do You Want Me? is also funny, rude and irreverent. It's unusually honest about fame and celebrity and happy to burst ego-balloons and golden myths. A brilliantly fast, furious and surprising, read from the inimitable Ruby Wax.

Reviews

Hilarious and affecting', YOU Magazine .'Waist-deep in vitriol...but funny', Sunday Telegraph .'Way above most celebrity memoirs, which are often dishonest and badly written. Ruby leaves no stone unturned in her brutally honest journey of self-discovery and she writes beautifully. Look no further for a good holiday read.', Bella .'Witty and engaging', Saturday Express .'An extraordinary and brave book that simultaneously provokes both gales of laughter and tears', Woman and Home .'An insightful part-memoir, part-exploration, which swings from hilarity to heart-rending sadness', OK!
