Summary
The Sunday Times Number One best seller.
If, like me, you’re sick and tired of being told how to think, speak, eat and behave, then this book is for you.
If, like me, you think common sense is being thrown out of the window, then this book is for you.
If, like me, you think the world’s going absolutely nuts, then this book is for you.
If, like me, you think NHS heroes and Captain Tom are the real stars of our society, not self-obsessed, tone-deaf celebrities (and royal renegades!), then this book is for you. If, like me, you’re sickened by the cancel culture bullies destroying people’s careers and lives, then this book is for you. From feminism to masculinity, racism to gender, body image to veganism, mental health to competitiveness at school, the right to free speech and expressing an honestly held opinion is being crushed at the altar of ‘woke’ political correctness.
In 2020, the world faced its biggest crisis in a generation: a global pandemic. In the UK, it exposed deep divisions within society and laid bare a toxic culture war that had been raging beneath the surface. From the outset, Piers Morgan urged the nation to come to its senses, once and for all, and held the government to often ferocious account over its handling of the crisis.
COVID-19 shed shocking light on the problems that plague our country. Stockpilers and lockdown-cheats revealed our grotesque levels of self-interest and the virtue-signalling woke brigade continued their furious assault on free speech, shutting down debate on important issues like gender, racism and feminism. Yet just as coronavirus exposed our flaws, it also showcased our strengths. We saw selfless bravery in the heroic efforts of our healthcare staff. A greater appreciation of migrant workers. A return of local community spirit. And inspiring, noble acts from members of the public such as Captain Sir Tom Moore.
Wake Up is Piers’ rallying cry for a united future in which we reconsider what really matters in life. It is a plea for the return of true liberalism, where freedom of speech is king. Most of all, it is a powerful account of how the world finally started to wake up, and why it mustn’t go back to sleep again.

I didn't really like Piers but
I found it a struggle to watch Piers on GMB as I completely disagree with his views on Covid, however I have found this book in the largest part very enjoyable. sometimes we forget it is OK to have an opinion and a voice, this in part reminds you why it is important everyone has a voice and an opinion

wake up to the truth
even if you aren't a piers morgan fan, you will enjoy listening to this, assuming you like free speech of course and don't want it silenced because you do not agree. if you do not agree, look at a blank wall. if you do agree, lose yourself for hours listening to this and come to a better understanding if what is going wrong on in the world.

Kept me completely engrossed and enjoyed as much as I expected and then some!
Never used audiobooks before but wanted to hear Piers ranting!

A lot of great points however a lot of ego stroking and Covid talk
I’m a fan of piers and Thoguht this would be a book about his points on modern day leftists and SJW’s. However I would say most of the book is about his personal experience and opinions on the ongoing coronavirus. While in no way dull and still interesting to get his views and nice to hear him rightly criticise the way the government has handled the pandemic, I did not think so much of this book would be filled with coronavirus. And obviously as we all would expect he never shys away in talking about how many followers he has and how influential he is. True but he doesn’t have to mention it so often.

Not everyone's cup of tea
I thought about buying this book two or three times before taking the plunge. Like him or loathe him I found this to be a very well planned and well argued book and my feelings ranged from, really Piers I do not agree with that to well said Piers that is a more succinct way of saying what I thought. Using a diary to show events of 2020 which I'd either forgotten or instantly remembered. i probably will not start watching GMB but I will look out for another book !!!
