Everyone Loves Ronnie

I love Ronnie Corbett, he's like everyone's favourite Uncle, and this is just what this book is like, an old friend taking you into his confidence and telling you tales of his life. If I'm being honest he does ramble a bit occasionally but overall a great book by a National Treasure and sadly missed entertainer. It was lovely to hear his voice again.

Clarity of mind and speech

Modesty and humour which is constant throughout the book which means the listener sometimes feels to be part of the story.

An extraordinary Life.

I was always more of a Spike Milligan fan than of the Two Ronnies, although the show's writing was superb but decided to get this book as, being 50 years young, I grew with Ronnie Corbett seemingly being ever present on television in any given year and I was curious.
It was a decision about which I have no regrets.
He writes interestingly, and warmly, about almost everyone and it's touching that respect and affection were of equal measure whether someone was a family member or a new acquaintance.
I loved his honesty about his open admiration for people who were big stars when he was young, there is no artificial coolness here :)
I would recommend this book whether you've liked his work or not. He has known incredible characters, people with life stories that you just couldn't make up!
The writing is simple and honest despite being liberally sprinkled with the glitter of some of the largest names in show business (and a few east end gangsters too!) although he doesn't come across as a name dropper, he's just a modest man, mentioning the names of his colleagues.
Ordinary and yet extraordinary is how he, and his life, come across.
A thoroughly enjoyable, humourous, interesting, listen...and it wouldn't have been anywhere near the wonderful experience that it has been had it not been read by the big wee man himself.

A Big Tale from a small funguy.

A really good read/listen 👂. Lots of interesting parts to Rons life,but at times he does rabbit on a little too long about his Golf life. But loved it just the same.

Ronnie was interesting

The story of Ronnie was interesting his years of work in the entertainment industry is second to none. His reading was very good but the music in between the sections was very distracting.

Not quite Dizzy Heights

An ok kind of biography. I'm not quite sure whether Ronnie Corbett reached the same level of superstardom as Ronnie Barker. I enjoyed Ronnie c in partnership with his colleague. Feels like he is making up ground with Ronnie b and that somehow comes across in the book or the Reading. a lot of name dropping and the haves and have not.. came across like a Tory. was reasonably read which is always nice and a preference by the subject. and because of the happy memories I have of him with Ronnie B have given it the score that I have. particularly the phantom raspberry blower which I believe all the raspberries blown by David Jason. anyways enjoy.
