Summary
'These are the stories of some of the things that have happened to me: the funny things, the scary things, the exciting things; the things that have made me who I am. I don't want to start at the beginning and tell them in chronological order because that's not the way my brain works. And this certainly isn't going to be one of those books of life lessons . . .
'I've always been passionate about finding and telling stories. And now, for the first time, here are mine.'
Famous for his portrayal of TV hardman Grant Mitchell and as the maker of documentaries exploring the most dangerous people and places on the planet, BAFTA-winning Ross Kemp is one of the UK's best known TV stars. Here, Ross shares tales from his remarkable life.
From his childhood in Essex, where he used to pretend the woods behind his house were the Amazon rainforest, to finding himself travelling through the real thing thirty years later, Ross's life has taken many twists and turns. Through it all there's been no plan, no roadmap, no strategy. Ross has gone from one wild adventure to the next, and never quite felt like he's fitted in anywhere.
From getting lost at sea to setting a sacred island on fire, auditioning for his part on EastEnders to filming in active war zones across the world, these are the heart-warming, hilarious and hard-hitting stories of some of the unexpected adventures that have happened along the way.
Warm, energetic and endlessly entertaining, it is a fascinating snapshot of a life lived to the full.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Fabulous
A well written & narrated book.
It was refreshing that Ross would write about his early days & next a story of more recent times.
Thoroughly enjoyable, definitely recommend!

Great stuff.
Lots of funny and interesting anecdotes that made the commute more bearable. I’ve got to write more words so this gets published, wasn’t that enough?!

Funny, heartfelt and eye opening.
Loved this audio book with so many interesting, funny and eye opening stories. Ross's life is fascinating, he is so much more than just Grant Mitchell and the things he has seen, experienced and heard during his documentaries are truly eye opening and brave. His experiences really show what a wonderful and yet cruel world we live in. I love that Ross narrated his own book - his drunken stories are so funny!!

Bad Narrating, Interesting Stories.
This is so frustrating, sounds like the book is being read by lines rather than sentences!! What a shame, I'm only a couple of hours into it and wondering if I will make it to the end, as it's already frustrating the life out of me,
