Pray Tell.
What Book?

juicyjolly · 05/12/2008 00:05

I too think she has a lovely face.

Cuddley and Smudgey if you ask me!

Quadrophenia · 05/12/2008 00:06

juicyjolly think its an autobiography her face takes up the whole cover with a 'wicked grin'

BlackEyedDogstar · 05/12/2008 00:09

you mean 'Dear Fatty'

now, I like DF

but agree, this looks hideous

juicyjolly · 05/12/2008 00:14

Yes, thats what I like about her, she does have a wicked grin, and is really pretty, but sexy too.

TisTheSeasonToBeSolo · 05/12/2008 00:17

I think she is beautiful, but I haven't seen the book in question...

hertsnessex · 05/12/2008 00:29

i hate the book title, but like her alot.

hunkermunker · 05/12/2008 00:38

Does she have to do the "my mouth is a rectangle, look!" face so often though?

roisin · 05/12/2008 03:12

The book is superb though. It is unlike any other biography I've read, as she is shockingly open and honest in the way she shares her experiences.

I don't know if you are aware but it's written as a series of letters to her nearest and dearest, telling some of the reasons why they are important to her and what experiences they've shared in the past.

I loved it. It's also a fascinating insight into where her humour (which I love) comes from.

I will go and look at the cover now: it didn't offend me!

filthymindedvixen · 05/12/2008 14:41

pania · 05/12/2008 14:53

I love Dawn French and I like the book cover too. Will definitely read the book now so thanks for posting!

pania · 05/12/2008 14:54

And hasn't she got lovely skin?

OrmIrian · 05/12/2008 15:01

I like her and think she's really lovely. Heard her talking about her book on R4. I rarely read biographies but it does sound interesting.

NotanOtter · 05/12/2008 21:16

wilkos - i have lots of not lovely mumblings au sujet de Dawn!

seems she is not so sweet and bubbly as she might have us believe

does it say why she is happy being so big? its rare in the celebrity world.

Sparkler · 06/01/2009 23:04

Just wanted to add to this thread. I had Dear Fatty for Christmas and started reading it a couple of days ago. I was laughing my head off after reading 3/4 pages. Absolutely fantastic book. I love Dawn French!!!
