    First announced and pre-ordered on April 19 2022, Warren's book is finally out today!

    That's 11 hours of audio stashed away for a few long walks at the weekend...

    I'm guessing I'll find this in the fiction section?

    Thanks for the reminder — I pre-ordered this years ago, then canceled to get my credit back… re-ordered, and now it’s finally here. Honestly, it feels like Mayweather v Pacquiao — when the anticipation dragged on forever, but that was actually the highlight. Hopefully this one flips the script, because I’m guessing half of Frank’s stories could’ve had him sued or locked up if told any earlier or truthfully — which is probably why there was a delay.

    No doubt a lot of stuff planned to be included has had to be pulled out or watered down.

    I will look at a few reviews and probably order for xmas, hopefully some decent stories still, even going back to his early days unlicensed should make for a good read, thanks for the reminder lads :thumbsup:

    Well it will be an interesting read no matter how accurate or watered down it may end up being. Certainly can't fault Frank for longevity anyway.

    You know I thought it was earlier than 2022 so maybe I did the same.

    And it's also using a decent narrator rather than Frank himself, so I guess if anything had to be changed they'd need to re-book him!

    I was really looking forward to it until I opened my copy and found the second half of the book from chapter 5 to 11 were TBA. :mad:

    Yeah, same here — it feels like it’s been hanging around forever, so 2022 almost sounds recent! With audiobooks the narrator really makes or breaks it for me. Take Tyson Fury’s books — Jake Wood would’ve been spot on if he’d gone full Max Branning, but instead he used that posh voice from the Geico ads. It’s fine in its own lane, but for Fury it just didn’t land.
