具体描述

As far back as he can remember James Corden has only ever wanted to be in one place: in front of you, doing something to make you laugh, cry, shout, or giggle uncontrollably. At the age of 4, he grandstanded throughout his baby sister's christening, standing on a chair in front of the whole congregation, pulling faces and cracking everyone up. Despite himself, the vicar was impressed. And from then on he couldn't get enough of the spotlight, even when it always seemed to avoid him. Throughout his teens, he and his Dad trudged up and down towards London, getting closer and closer to landing a gig, only to be told 'No' at the last stage. But he never gave up and soon found his whole life turned upside down and inside out by his experience as one Alan Bennett's History Boys. From that moment forth, he's never looked back.

May I Have Your Attention Please? is the warm, cheeky, surprisingly honest and hilarious story of one of our most popular comedy talents. From his antics as one of the founding players of his high-school's first ever rugby team to gaining recognition in the West End, to nationwide fame as the loveably loud Smithy in the award-winning Gavin and Stacey, this is a tenderly told story of what it's like to try, try and try again and - happily - get there in the end.

用户评价

这本书的后劲儿实在太大了，有一种慢热的魔力，不是那种读完当下就拍案叫绝的即时满足感，而是随着时间的推移，书中的意象和主题会像酵母一样在你的思维中持续发酵。我发现自己会时不时地回想起书中某个特定的场景或者某句精妙的对话，它们会不期然地跳出来，与我正在经历的现实产生奇妙的对照。这种持久的影响力，是衡量一部优秀作品的重要标准。它成功地搭建了一个自洽的微观世界，在这个世界里，所有的规则、情感和逻辑都遵循着一套严密的内在体系，一旦你进入，就很难完全抽离。对于那些追求深度阅读体验的读者来说，这本书无疑是一座需要反复挖掘的宝藏，每一次重读，都会带来新的发现和理解，这是我最看重的价值所在。

这本书的语言风格，可以说是独树一帜，充满了实验性和探索精神，完全颠覆了我对传统叙事腔调的认知。它大胆地运用了非线性的结构，时间仿佛被揉碎了，又在读者手中重新组合，这种阅读体验既充满挑战，又极具回报感。它迫使你必须保持高度的专注，去拼凑那些碎片化的信息，去连接那些看似毫无关联的线索。这种阅读过程本身，就构成了一种智力上的冒险。而且，作者在用词上的精准和创新，令人赞叹，一些词语的组合方式，让我不得不停下来反复咀嚼，体会其中蕴含的全新意义。这绝不是一本可以“翻过去看看”的书，它要求你全身心地沉浸其中，与之共振。那些晦涩的地方，并非故弄玄虚，而是作者对复杂现实的一种忠实呈现，提醒着我们世界的真相往往是多面且模糊的。

我得说，这本书的节奏感简直像是一场精心编排的交响乐，时而急促，时而舒缓，高潮迭起却又从不让人感到突兀。作者对于冲突的设置极其高明，不是那种为了戏剧性而堆砌的狗血桥段，而是根植于角色性格与环境逻辑的必然产物。每一次矛盾的爆发，都带着一种宿命般的张力，让人忍不住屏息凝神，生怕错过任何一个细节。而且，它成功地做到了在保持叙事张力的同时，不牺牲文本的文学质感。那些描述性的文字，如同打磨光滑的宝石，光影流转间，映照出事件背后的深层含义。我尤其喜欢它对环境的刻画，那些看似不经意的背景描写，其实是推动情节发展、烘托人物心境的隐形力量，为整个故事构建了一个真实可信且富有寓言色彩的舞台。读完后，我甚至能闻到故事中那些特定场景的气味，这足见作者营造氛围的功力之深厚。

作为一名资深书虫，我最欣赏这本书中那种微妙的反讽和批判力量，它以一种极其克制、近乎耳语的方式，揭示了社会运行的某些荒谬逻辑。它没有宏大的口号，也没有直接的指责，而是通过一个个鲜活的个体在体制或既定规则下的挣扎与妥协，不动声色地完成了对现代困境的解剖。这种“润物细无声”的批判，比那些直白的呐喊更有力量，因为它让你在合上书本之后，依然能在日常生活中不断地辨认出那些似曾相识的影子。角色的塑造极为立体，没有绝对的好人或坏人，每个人都背负着自己的重担和道德困境，他们的选择，无论是高尚还是卑劣，都有着其内在的合理性。正是这种对复杂人性的接纳和呈现，让这本书超越了单纯的娱乐作品，上升到一种具有深刻人文关怀的文本层面。

这本书的叙事视角转换得简直是神来之笔，作者似乎拥有洞察人心的魔力，让我们得以窥见那些平日里深藏不露的幽微情绪。我尤其欣赏那种细腻入微的描写，每一个场景、每一次对话，都仿佛被精心雕琢过，带着一种恰到好处的留白，留给读者巨大的想象空间。它不是那种直白地把所有答案都抛给你的作品，反而更像是一场邀请，邀请我们一同走进角色错综复杂的内心迷宫。那种初读时的困惑感，随着情节的层层剥开，逐渐演化成一种豁然开朗的震撼，仿佛自己也参与了这场漫长而深刻的自我发现之旅。书中对人际关系微妙之处的把握，精准得让人心惊，那些欲言又止的瞬间，那些不经意的眼神交汇，都被捕捉得淋漓尽致，让我想起自己生活中那些难以言喻的片段，感同身受。这种对人性深度的挖掘，远远超出了普通小说的范畴，更像是一部关于存在意义的哲学沉思录，只是披着引人入胜的故事外衣。

Nice guy.

An enjoyable read/ listen. 小胖自己读的有声书都一样有戏，偶然还要卖弄歌喉，让我知道他所组的那2个乐队为什么最终还是解散了。还有模仿很多人，Nicholas Hynter, Alan Bennet, Sir Paul McCartney...惟妙惟肖。 小胖其实真的挺励志的。
