About this ebook

Britain's Got Talent is BACK . . . so it's time to get serious with Britain's favourite funny man.

Famous comedian and actor, funniest judge on Britain's Got Talent, high-achieving sportsman and BESTSELLING AUTHOR of The World's Worst Children series, David Walliams is a man of many talents . . .

Launched to fame with the record-breaking Little Britain, his characters - Lou, Florence, Emily, amongst others - became embedded in our shared popular culture. You couldn't enter a playground for a long while without hearing "eh, eh, eh" or "computer says no".

And Walliams is a mystery. Often described as a bundle of contradictions, he is disarming and enigmatic, playing up his campness one minute and hinting about his depression the next.

To read Camp David is to be truly shocked, as well as tickled pink: David Walliams bares his soul like never before and reveals a fascinating and complex mind.

This searingly honest autobiography is a true roller-coaster ride of emotions, as this nation's sweetheart unlocks closely guarded secrets that until now have remained hidden in his past.

Ratings and reviews

Brilliant book from start to finish easy to read, and as i suffer from depression too familiar in parts, realy like and admire David bring on book 2 oh and more of the photos sooo funny mind you should see my old photos thats real little britain. Take care David xxx n hug

I enjoyed reading the book- David Walliams describes very honest how his childhood was, how he got famous and he even writes down what happened in times where things weren't going as planned. A Must-have for everyone who wants to get to know him a bit better.

The book overall was ok but I felt a lot of it was waffling. I'm a big fan and expected more comedy but I guess life isnt always a barrel of laughs
