About this ebook
"Almost a Celebrity" is the no-holds-barred autobiography of radio megastar James Whale, a man who, for over thirty years, has never been afraid to say the unsayable. In his typically deadpan style, "Almost a Celebrity" charts James' rise to the top - with plenty of trademark rants along the way - from his Surrey childhood, where he avoided school by hanging out in Soho strip joints, through his humble beginnings in local radio, via the self-titled TV show which made his name, to his current status as late-night king of the airwaves.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5A fast easy to read book on the life of the infamous James Whale on LBC, a Station which I variously label 'Loony Bland Conservatives', 'Lazy Bigotted Conservatives' etc if you catch my drift.
He has some valid opinions but most of it is right wing bigotry.
