Review
'Lively and penetrating' ( Independent on Sunday )
'At last, this book explains the mystery of Peter Cook - how someone so funny, so loveable, so handsome, could make such a total hash of his life. Harry Thompson's pedigree in television comedy makes him an authoritative commentator on Cook's performances' (Lynne Barber, Daily Telegraph )
'Unputdownable, level-headed and intelligent' (Nicholas Lezard, Guardian )
'This definitive biography...as heartbreaking as it is entertaining' (Jessica Berens, Times Literary Supplement )
