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 and there were lots of parts of this book that were boring, unfortunately for me.

With more time on her hands after retirement and several close family members' deaths, she now has the luxury to immerse herself into her beloved writing hobby. In retrospect, she is sad to realize that her books were never really edited or properly marketed. Even though she still cannot afford professional help, what she has learned from trial and error and self-study has improved her ability to write better books immensely. 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 made his way to the top.
