Amazon reviews
"I know his diaries backwards and have watched/listened to the many tributes on TV/radio since his death in 1988. However this book, with its unprecedented access to the key people in Kenneth's life, introduces so many new facts, photos, anecdotes and revelations. It's a real joy for the Williams/Carry On fan, beautifully written and wonderfully researched. I initially approached with caution fearing a re-hash - it's actually the opposite. The book lets us look at an icon with new eyes. I cannot recommend it enough."
"I would highly recommend this book as being one of the best on Kenneth Williams for years, and with so many personal and private moments featured it is one that brings out the humanity and warmth of the man in many ways also."
"The groaningly familiar is avoided, and I like to believe that the embossed, faux-flock wallpaper that the book's cover resembles was used ironically, as the very last type of decoration you would have found, I believe, on Kenneth's walls; hopefully he'd have found being pictured on his Snide's character's likely choice of wallpaper, for all the world's remaining time, ironically funny."
