Dear Fatty 
She first appeared on the British entertainment scene as part of the groundbreaking alternative comedy group, the Comic Strip, which marked a radical departure from the more traditional comedy acts of the time. Later came the all-female Girls on Top with Jennifer Saunders, Ruby Wax and Tracy Ullman. Then, as part of the wildly successful duo, French and Saunders, Dawn helped create a repertoire of brilliantly observed recurring characters parodying popular culture and impersonating everything from Madonna and Harry Potter to The Exorcist. Dawn's more recent role in The Vicar of Dibley again has showcased not only her talent but also her ability to take a controversial issue and make it mainstream and funny. From her early years as an RAF child to her flat-sharing antics with Jennifer Saunders, from her outspoken views on sizeism to her marriage to Lenny Henry, Dear Fatty will chronicle the fascinating and hilarious rise of a complex, dynamic and unstoppable woman.
I really enjoyed this book. Dawn writes her autobiography in the form of letters to friends and family, live and deceased. She shares memories, gives thanks, they are witty and heartbreaking in places. It isn't a side splittingly funny book, but it's not supposed to be. I was amazed at how much she's been through and how she's managed to channel her experiences in such a positive way - she's an inspiration. I've always been a huge fan of French and Saunders, especially their movie parodies,
I love watching Dawn French on TV and so I naturally had to have her book when it was released.The book takes the less-used form of a collection of letters written to various people in her life. Through the letters she communicates her most prominent memories of experiences in her life. Dawn definitely has a way with words. The writing flows well and it's made all the better by the fact that she's written it herself instead of having a ghost writer do it for her. The letters she writes manage to

Another friend recommendation and from someone rather cool. I was bought tickets to Dawn's show recently and was suggested that I read 'Dear Fatty'. In fact the guy bought me the book as well. Letters to her family, her friends, acquaintances...and Madonna. Hilarity ensues mixed in with tales of tragedy and loss. One thing for sure is that Ms. French does not hold back on her life stories. In fact, the vulnerability that one feels when reading her confessions on weight, racism and death is very
Being a fairly young fan, I'm one of those who became exposed to the brilliance of Dawn French through "The Vicar of Dibley." The life of a comedian may seem glamorous and, with the way Dawn wears it to the public eye, it certainly seems to be. As with most things, this is a slightly different story behind closed doors. One thing I admire most about her is her ability to move on from hardships in her life. Dawn has adopted the "Yes, it happened but I'm not going to waste my life dwelling on it"
I think this book has gotten some mixed reviews but for me personally I really enjoyed it! I have always been a fan of Dawn French since I saw her on various TV shows through the years BUT I never knew much about her. Her style of letter writing to various people was quite amusing, different personas she'd take on while laying them out for you to read/view. It was like taking a personal peep into snail mail being sent between friends (or many different friends).Worth a read if you do like Dawn

I've recently started to listen to audiobooks in the car on my short commute to work. And I'm really enjoying them. This was my second one. I was initially disappointed that Dawn wasn't reading it herself, but she does a short section at the beginning saying she felt some of it too personal and difficult to have attempted to read herself. Ok, fair enough. She enlisted a friend, Liza Tarbuck, to do the reading, and she does a great job. Liza sounds quite a bit like Dawn actually. The book isI really enjoyed this book.
