Description:
'A book that makes you guffaw out loud.' - Evening Standard "Funny, scandalous and moving." - Mail on Sunday 'It's a funny year in which the most successful showbusiness autobiography, the funniest, cleverest and most insightful, the one that says the most about the art of memoir-writing and the human condition, is the one that was written by a chimp.' - The Independent 'The most rollicking showbiz memoir since David Niven's Bring on the Empty Horses. . . . Me Cheeta is a satirical masterpiece.' - The Telegraph 'Why is everyone not raving about Me Cheeta: The Autobiography? It really is one of the smartest comic novels of recent years.' - The Guardian "A rude, hilarious and infectious memoir of Hollywood's golden age. . . . The Hollywood spoofing is certainly entertaining, but Me, Cheeta evolves into something grander: a broad, cutting satire on the differences between man and beast." - Chicago Sun-Times A "lyrical and profane memoir-cum-love-story. The book is hilarious, catty, melancholy and, occasionally, deep." - Washington Post "As a premise, Me Cheeta is glorious. What wouldn't be entertaining about the memoir of a chimpanzee, ghostwritten by James Lever, who witnessed Hollywood's Golden Age and is more than willing to spill? Cheeta is one articulate primate, and he's not afraid to dish." - Denver Post "Pretty good, considering it was written by a monkey who has been eligible for AARP membership since the first Reagan Administration." - Florida Times-Union 'Me Cheeta: undoubtedly the year's best not-a-memoir-at-all. It's hard to conceive of anyone who'd like a biography who wouldn't like a copy of this truly, horribly funny book.' - Daily Telegraph
