My Booky Wook

My Booky Wook is a memoir, written by English comedian and actor Russell Brand, published in 2007 by Hodder & Stoughton.

This warts-and-all account of Brand's life follows, in vivid detail, the star's life from his troubled childhood in Grays End Close, Grays, Essex, to his first taste for fame in stage school up to his turbulent drug addiction and his triumphant rise to fame from Re:Brand to Big Brother's Big Mouth to Hollywood.

Its title is in the style of the fictional Nadsat language from A Clockwork Orange: Brand explained the reference during his appearance on Have I Got News For You in December 2007.

The Observer claimed it was "better written and more entertaining than any number of the celebrity autobiographies that clog the shelves of bookshops."

[2] The project has since been shelved by Brand, who did not want American audiences to learn of his "chequered past" without reading the book first.
