Summary

Random House presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of My Lives: From Del Boy to Granville, Pop Larkin to Frost by David Jason.

In his first book, David Jason told us about himself from his early years training as an electrician through to making it as one of Britain's actors. This autumn, in a follow-up autobiography, he tells us about the many other lives he has lived - his characters. From Del Boy to Granville, Pop Larkin to Frost, he takes us behind the scenes and under the skins of some of the best loved acts of his career. And in the process he reflects on how those characters changed his life, too. The result, told with his characteristic charm and wit, is both funny and poignant, honest and heartwarming.

Mislead by the details

I bought this as an avid fan of Sir David, and was highly disappointed to find that he only did the first 5 minutes of the book which was a massive downside to me if it was advertised as Intro read by Sir David at least your letting everyone know what to expect.

The content was great with fantastic stories.

Not quite as advertised

Narrator not as advertised. David Jason does foreword only. Not what I expected. Listing David Jason as primary narrator is, by literary convention showing that he contributes the most.

This book Michael Fenton Stevens reads all bar one chapter. If I wanted to hear the story in a voice other than the author, then I would have read the book


Feel rather deceived and let down.

A must-have for any Only Fools / 80s-90s-20's TV fan! Everybody!

I first fell in love with the work of David Jason when he provided the voice for Danger Mouse.
I watched all of Only Fools of Horses when I was 5 (in 1992) it was a programme I got to share with my grandparents who raised me.
Now when I watch it - whenever I watch it, it not only entertains me but reminds me of them and how lucky I was to have them and their influence.
I can't also help but feel how lucky I was to have David Jason, Nicholas Lyndhurst, Leonard Pearce, Buster Merryfield and their influence.
Wonderful.

Superb

A joy to listen to. Going over the wonderful characters he played throughout his years. Pity David did not read himself otherwise faultless.

Terrible Narration

Actually really enjoyed the anecdotes and stories. I too read the reviews saying David only did the intro but boy the narrater did the story NO favours. Awful. littered with mistakes, who is Uncle Arthur? A sentence the narrater stop and started again. Spoiled a potentially great book. Dissatisfied and disappointed. You plonker........
