Synopsis

Brought to you by Penguin.

The very first autobiography from Brendan O'Carroll.

Before he became the nation's favourite Mammy, Brendan O'Carroll was known, simply as Brendan. He's the youngest of eleven children from a poor family in Dublin, he's a boy whose father died when he was just nine years old; he's someone whose hope and determination meant he never gave up. Throughout the tough moments, Brendan always had humour and a good story to tell alongside the ever-guiding inspiration of his own Mammy, a formidable figure who became Ireland's first female Labour MP, all whilst raising eleven children by herself.

Just like the show so brilliantly expresses, Brendan's first autobiography, the real story behind the man who became Mrs Brown, combines uplifting heart, warmth and hilarity.

Brendan O'Carroll is commonly known as Mrs. Brown, his alter ego that stars in Mrs. Brown's Boys. This tell all book is funny, interesting and shows Carroll is not a man that gives up easily. He's been up and down both money and career endeavors, but he always believe in himself, worked hard and mad......more

Goodreads review by Natalie on August 06, 2023

I really wanted to enjoy this much more than I did but I am afraid it wasn't as good as I expected. Not as funny as I thought it would be. This is Brendan's story in his own words of his career going from a teenager to how Mrs Brown's boys came about. Whilst it is interesting, I expected more comedy......more

Goodreads review by Shane on December 25, 2022

I really like Brendan O'Carroll as a person and the Mrs browns boy show. The book was okay but a little bit of a let down. The first few chapters very rocky and didn't know what way it was going. At points it hops and jumps a little lacking in flow. Also the book ends around 2008/2009, a little bit......more
