Graham Norton is best known as a television presenter, chat show host and comedian. His warm demeanour and dry wit has endeared him to the nation and he is well on his way to securing the status of a national treasure. But as well as presenting and acting, Graham also fulfils another professional role: that of agony uncle to readers of The Daily Telegraph. Every week, scores of people write to Graham with their problems, hoping that his wise words will ease their worries or at least point them in the direction of a solution to their particular concern. The woes about which Graham is asked to offer advice are wide-ranging and include topics such as ungrateful spouses, errant partners, failing relationships, problems in the workplace and social etiquette. Each perfectly-pitched response from Graham includes just the right mixture of sound advice, humour and, occassionally, reprimand. We are, after all, fascinated with other people's problems and the winning combination of a glimpse into another's life couples with a wise and witty response makes for fascinating reading. This entertaining and often poignant book is a collection of the very best reponses to a selection of problems from the man who is rapidly becoming the nation's favourite agony uncle.

Hello! My name is Laurence

A contemporary voice worth listening to

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 September 2017

Verified Purchase

Granted, the questions did mostly seem staged but this didn't detract from the enjoyment of reading this book. In fact, it probably improved it. I found Graham's responses amusing. The more shocking or blunt, the funnier it got.

This is shamelessly an agony aunt tribute act by someone who admits to being no psychologist. Yet he has heaps of common sense and experience. Towards the end, I found his acerbic wit had been replaced by too much empathy and concern. This allowed the ghost questioners too much leeway for self pity. Obviously, this is my opinion and will only be shared by a few.

I found Graham to be an insightful writer and after reading his memoir, I will now read his novel. His contemporary voice is certainly worth listening to.

if you're looking for a fun easy read to dip in and out of or pass the time on a journey i would definitely recommend this - although having said that i read this in my own home from cover to cover over a rainy weekend!! at times repetitive and i don't believe all the problems are true BUT i enjoyed hid responses and think they would serve a few people in real life too! enjoyed it!

An entertaining read!

A good holiday read for me as written to dip in and out of. I love Graham's Saturday radio show with this section and my only disappointment was that some of the situations were very similar. His ascerbic wit came through well however and it was like listening to his voice responding to sometimes the daftest dilemmas!!

Graham makes a lot of sense

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 November 2010

Verified Purchase

I bought the book for two reasons. One, I like reading problem pages and Two I love Graham's humour. This humour is present throughout his replies. But what was a complete surprise was how good his advice actually is. And if he is still writing his column, I hope he brings out a second volume.
I think he is a worthy successor to the late Claire Raynor. I just hope she doesn't come back to haunt him for pinching her crown!

Light hearted and amusing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 October 2018

Funny and candid replies, says what everyone thinks but are too conservative to point out. As he points out in the opening few lines he is not qualified to give advice but his observations of life are often spot on!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 February 2015

You can hear Graham's voice somehow in the sound advice he gives. A mix of sympathetic , logical and humorous responses make for a good read start to finish .
