Son of a Silverback: Growing Up in the Shadow of an Alpha Male by Russell Kane
4.0
3.5 ⭐️s rounded up.
I’ve been a Russell Kane fan since about 2009 when he MC’d a humanities quiz for college students at my local university in Essex.
This book has its genuinely laugh-out-loud moments but more than anything, it’s a memoir on how class and being brought up by a misguided and problematic alpha male can impact a young boy. For this reason, I found some of the stories quite difficult to read (or rather, listen to) but really enjoyed Russell’s narration.
