Publisher Description
Making It is a memoir about beating the odds and turning things around even when it all seems hopeless, by Jay Blades, known from the hit BBC One show The Repair Shop.
We had our hardships, and there were times that we didn’t have a lot of food and didn’t have a lot of money. But that didn’t stop me having the time of my life.
In his book, Jay shares the details of his life, from his childhood growing up sheltered and innocent on a council estate in Hackney, to his adolescence when he was introduced to violent racism at secondary school, to being brutalized by police as a teen, to finally becoming the presenter of the hit primetime show The Repair Shop.
Customer Reviews
A very open and honest tale.
Being so honest about his background and early motivations, Jay risks alienating some readers, but reading to the end helped to understand the much bigger picture. A remarkable story!
An enjoyable listen, the narrator sounds genuinely like Jay but it would have been SO much better with his own passionate voice.
Making It by Jay Blades
Fantastic audiobook! This is not just a memoir. It is a psychosocial piece of genius work which should be read or listened to by all. This book takes you on a journey of roller coasting emotions. Highly recommended.
