David Mitchell’s 2014 best seller Thinking About It Only Makes It Worse must really have made people think - because everything’s got worse. We’ve gone from UKIP surge to Brexit shambles, from horsemeat in lasagne to Donald Trump in the White House, from Woolworths going under to all the other shops going under. It’s probably socially irresponsible even to try to cheer up.

However, heading into 2016, Stanhope peered through the apocalyptic fog and saw a forecast that was more rainbows than acid rain: His first book was set for release, his new stand-up special was in the can, and he was about to film a television pilot with his friend and confidant Johnny Depp. The only thing that could stop Doug was himself, and that’s exactly what he did.

Summary
Rules for Being a Man:
- Don't cry
- Love sport
- Play rough
- Drink beer
- Don't talk about feelings
But Robert Webb has been wondering for some time now: are those rules actually any use? To anyone?
Looking back over his life, from schoolboy crushes (on girls and boys) to discovering the power of making people laugh (in the Cambridge Footlights with David Mitchell), and from losing his beloved mother to becoming a husband and father, Robert Webb considers the absurd expectations boys and men have thrust upon them at every stage of life. Hilarious and heartbreaking, How Not to Be a Boy explores the relationships that made Robert who he is as a man, the lessons we learn as sons and daughters, and the understanding that sometimes you aren't the Luke Skywalker of your life - you're actually Darth Vader.
Critic reviews
"Takes us deftly from hilarity to heart-stopping hurt.... A truly great read." (Dawn French)
"A witty and honest coming-of-age story." (Ian Rankin)
"If you have ever loved, liked or known a man, please read this book." (Katy Brand)
"A brilliant, brave book." (Matt Lucas)

Self indulgent
I've always enjoyed Robert Webb's work but I'm saddened to say I was left incredibly disappointed by this.
At times it was toe-curlingly embarrassing, and not because of the related anecdotes but because of the excessive self indulgence. The personal tragedy is beyond question but the criticism levelled at his father seems over the top given what we are told about him.
Ultimately, Robert just came off far more dislikable than the opinion I held of him. And the ultiimate failing was that he spent so long telling us that he ended up 'like his father' drinking and smoking his way through his childrens early years but then offers no insight into how he actually turned it around.
Many of my colleagues loved this book. It wasn't for me.

Honest
So I just finished “how not to be a boy” by Robert Webb which was a goodish book. Funny touching and left you thinking the main character (Robert Webb) was not a great person which is very honest in a novel.
However the pod cast attached to the end of the audible version made me burst out laughing in public place a few times in a row so would recommend the audible version/extended version.

I don't mind or care about anyone else's masculinity or feminility. Be who ever you want to be live and let live. In this you just seem to chuck your preachy views down everyone's throat. Not what I expected. Still I am a massive fan of peep show and your other sketches. Maybe you show leave out the gender studies in your next book.

Completely brilliant. Very funny and very poignant
Would you consider the audio edition of How Not to Be a Boy to be better than the print version?
This is brilliantly narrated by Webb himself, and you get SO much from autobiographies narrated by the author. When the author happens to be Robert Webb, you get a gold-standard, addictive audiobook that you'll immediately try to make everyone else on the planet listen to as well. He delivers the funnies to perfection, but his economy on the more emotional and poignant passages is almost unbearably moving. I feel like cheering and clapping.
What did you like best about this story?
It's completely satisfying if you're a fan of Robert Webb as a comedian, or just like amusing books in general. It's VERY funny throughout and the humour is smart and stylish. But there are passages and observations that are described so movingly by the author, the emotion will pin you to the spot.
Which character – as performed by Robert Webb – was your favourite?
The way the author commits all the members of his family to the page is just lovely, flawed and human though they are. But it's the author/narrator himself who you really root for. I have so much respect for the way he's laid himself bare in writing this book, and am hugely impressed by his wit. I was a fan before, but now I'm die-hard.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
YES and then I'd go back to the beginning and start again, in the same sitting.
Any additional comments?
It's achingly brilliant, I can't recommend it highly enough!

NOT VERY GOOD
I am sure Robert has a good autobiography to tell, unfortunately this wasn't it. We learned he is a bit of a dick, and a preachy one at that. He can be occasionally funny on the tele though to be fair.

Smart. Funny. Brilliant. Honest. Groundbreaking.
I didn’t know who Robert Webb was. I’m from across the pond, so have not had the pleasure of watching his brand of comedy. The title and description intrigued me, so I pre-ordered the audio book impulsively.
Best decision I could have made. The book is part memoir, part slice of British culture, part research paper.
I loved this audiobook. I’m still thinking about it. This man is someone I want to learn more about. I’m a fan.

It's been a long time since I read a book that was entertaining, enlightening, poignant, and a million other complementary adjectives. I am laughing and welling up in equal measure.

An autobiography through the lens of gender
It isn’t often that men write about gender without sounding pompous, but Robert Webb manages it skillfully. It’s a frank discussion of toxic masculinity, grief and the growing pains of life. I’m impressed by how much Rob reveals of himself, the good, the bad, and the cringe worthy teenage journal entries. I’m so glad I picked this one out for a listen.

Some Girls Wander By Mistake
Agree or disagree with his positions as laid out in the book, what is provided is an interesting look inside Robert Webb's head. One's experiences and life help provide an excellent insight into their views and, if you ever wondered what drove the man, Robert gives you a road map to his. That is a core strength to the book if you want to understand him better.
The weakness of this book is that it gets lost somewhere along the way. You will be moving along this memoir and then the soapbox comes out of nowhere. It's his book and it is his right to wedge it in out of nowhere, but it comes off as forced and ruins the flow. The last few chapters are a perfect example of this. Great memoir segment and then BAMMM "Hello, I am Robert Webb and let me explain again to you that I am a feminist ally." No problem with him saying it, just a matter of flow.
The again, you have to take all of this with a grain of salt. It comes from the point of view of a person who can play the bass line to "A Forest" by The Cure.

I found Robert through Peep Show during a 2017 trip to London via Netflix UK. Bought his books as a thank you for Peep Show and it didn’t take long to become immersed and forget that this was the guy who played Jez. Incredibly well written in all respects. Very insightful and thoughtful. Highly recommend to anyone who simply likes a good book.

Smart, Funny, and Relevant
I've never heard of Robert Webb before now, but I'll definitely be sure to check him out after listening to this riveting memoir.
A good part of Webb's story mirrors my own, with the philandering father who drank too much and often got violent. This is the basis for a journey through Webb's early years with relevant lessons throughout about how society raises boys to act a certain way, repress their feelings, etc. It's topical but never feels too preachy. It's interesting to note that a lot of the issues he touches on are not uniquely British (or American in my case)
Being written by a comedian it's got quite a bit of humor but also a lot of heart. My only comments are some of the very British references were lost on me and sometimes he talks a bit too fast, or sounds too much like he's "reading" (IMHO the best audible autobiographies are those that make you feel like the person is next to you on a long car ride, telling you personally about their life).

Worthwhile....
It took me a while to warm up to this story but, in the end, I found it worth the time. At first, I felt that it was so deeply a British experience that I was missing a lot of the references and wouldn't be able to relate. But as I settled into the character, I began to really enjoy it and it had a great mix of humor and warmth.
