Summary

Zombies in North London, death cults in the West Country, the engineering deck of the Enterprise: actor, comedian, writer, and self-proclaimed supergeek Simon Pegg has been ploughing some bizarre furrows in recent times. Having blasted on to the small screen in the gut-busting and now legendary sitcom Spaced, his enduring appeal and rise to nation’s-favourite-son status has been mercurial, meteoric, megatronic, but mostly just plain great.

From his childhood (and subsequently adult) obsession with science fiction, his enduring friendship with Nick Frost, and his forays into stand-up comedy which began with his regular Monday morning slot in front of his 12-year-old classmates, Simon has always had a severe and dangerous case of the funnies.

So, sit back, relax, and let Simon Pegg and his faithful robotic butler Canterbury take you on a spectacular journey of self-discovery. (Or, take this book to school and swap it for something cooler…) Dotted with a cast of memorable characters who have helped shape the life and career of a complex, dynamic and unstoppable man, Nerd Do Well is the joyous tale of a home-grown superstar and a local boy made good.

I've listened to it twice now and still get wrapped up in the story telling. A great side story throughout the book and really funny. Well done Mr Pegg

2010 is a long time ago for Simon. An autobiography when he was 40 is basically too early.

It’s no Paul.

I really wish there was a little bit more about the film making and and TV making experience what's there is interesting but it just scratches the surface it's fun to hear about Simon's life as a child growing up though

too short but lots of fun

Really enjoyed listening to this book. The juxtaposition of autobiography with the fictional tale of a hunky James Bond-style hero was highly entertaining and SP read it perfectly. I just wish it had been longer!

Entertaining & clever
