Don't You Know Who I Am? [Paperback]

Piers Morgan (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 2008

They say you can always remember where you where when pivotal moments happen, such as losing your virginity or Elvis dying. Let me add another to the list: the moment I sang a duet to the the "Macarena" with Timmy Mallett, live to millions of people...' Sacked from his high-profile job as a national newspaper editor, Piers Morgan dived helplessly into the world of celebrity. But even twenty years of commenting on the lives of the rich and famous couldn't prepare him for the extraordinary world he uncovered...A riveting, scandelous and brutally honest account of one man's quest for celebrity, Don't You Know Who I Am? lifts the lid on the egos and outrageous behaviour of everyone from Paris Hilton to Cherie Blair, Kate Moss to the legend that is the Hoff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cracks me up., May 5, 2009

This review is from: Don't You Know Who I Am? (Paperback)

I love this book...and I think I am liking Piers Morgan, despite that I might not want to admit it in public...

Its self-deprecating, not-taking-oneself-too-seriously style makes it fun to read. One must admit that you'll get an even bigger kick out of his humor if you know the celebrities he writes about.

This is delightful to read and it's as good as trash (i.e. gossips) gets. I can't wait till I get the new one on Americas.

5.0 out of 5 stars PIERS MORGAN HAS TALENT!, July 17, 2007

This review is from: Don't You Know Who I Am? (Hardcover)

Captivating! Charming! Britain's Smoothie! This book is verbose, and most of all entertaining! Piers words burst forth, and from them stems this sensational personality much like that of Orson Wells, and Orson's character "Charles Foster Kane" in CITIZEN CANE. I recommend this book highly, and can only give it 5 stars!! Great job! A great tattle and chat! YES, PIERS, WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE! BRAVO!! My kind of writer!

I liked Piers Morgan before I read this book of his. His language is filthy, and some of the content is also filthy. He uses the "F" word a lot. And a lot of sexual inuendos. Not a book fit for anyone. I am a Christian. I toss books like this one into the garbage, which is exactly what I did with it. I am now praying for Piers. Too bad. No one has to write garbage. He can do better than that.
