 Not what I expected June 20, 2010
Holiday Reader (Durham, England)
I was a bit disappointed with this book. It only really dealt with Gok's life from the time he began to appear on television. The same reference to his 'up bringing on a tough council estate' was repeated many times, but this was the part of his life which many readers would have found most interesting. I understand that he may wish to protect the privacy of his family, but if this is the case I wonder why he agreed to the book being written.

Total and utter rubbish, full of pointless and unrelated archive material presumably spewed and regurgitated by Ms Herbert in past articles (the nonsense on Linda Barker and 'Changing Rooms' was a particular highlight).
Full of basic grammatical errors and spelling mistakes it reads like a 1st year undergrad Media Studies essay. On second thoughts, that is maybe a bit too unkind to Media Studies students.....
If you are really interested in Gok you'll gain a better insight from Wikipedia

I saw a tramp ask Gok Wan "millionaire" if he would like to buy his last big issue the other day just outside the Comedy theatre in london.Wan told the tramp to go away and then retreated into a Korean restaurant where he was taken to the V.I.P area.I would have thought that a man who had come from such an abusive, "rough" background would have been able to recognise and empathise with the plight of others.Dont worry Wan,I bought the issue off the homeless man and had an enjoyable night telling everyone what a Gok you are.
