Bigger Than Hitler - Better Than Christ

If you love Rik Mayall's humor, you'll love this book. If you are unfamiliar with Rik Mayall, you'll probably be mystified. Speaking for myself, I'm keeping this one to revisit time and again.

Light entertainment's most priapic juggernaut takes a break from "having it off" with "top birds" (this could be a form of shagging, but only The Rik Mayall knows for sure.) and amusing billions to the point of self-mortification to bestow upon the reading public this memoir (all of which is totally true, obviously), which makes all others before it look like the most over-used birdcage lining by comparison. For mere mortals such as we to even begin to fathom the workings of comedic ultragenius, this is your first and last step.

The Rik Mayall is great (anyone with any sense knows that) and this book is proof. Although it can at times seem as though the Rik Mayall is ranting and confused, I have come to realize it is only because I cannot, as I am not the Rik Mayall (there can only be one), fully understand the true and perfect genius that the Rik Mayall embodies and expresses in this brilliant autobiography. If you have ever enjoyed Bottom and/or The Young Ones, you will love Bigger than Hitler, Better Than Christ. Rik Mayall is sex. Oh, and there's loads of pictures, too (which is awesome).
