Format:Hardcover
Really disappointing - readers who buy this are likely to own other books about Judi Dench. Just be prepared to read many of the same stories again - pretty much word for word. Very few new photos too. Not what I was expecting at all. I feel a bit short-changed.

Format:Audio CD
I love autobiographies and celebrity ones are the best but this one was extremely boring. It consisted of a list of plays that she has been in and a list of fellow actors producers and directors. It could have been written by anyone.There were hardly any references to her private life and, although we dont want a "warts and all" story, a little personal information would have been welcome.

Format:Hardcover
Although this is perhaps a little disappointing as a record of her career, mainly because she is too polite to be truly candid, it is certainly a revealing and moving account of her private life. Having not read any other books on her, I found all the stories fresh and entertaining, and this serves as a very good introduction to a superb actress's life.

Dame Judi comes across as a delightful lady who is clearly a very talented actor.....but not a writer. Read more

Reading between the lines
I think that somewhere in this book Dame Judi Dench says it is not always about what happens in the line but what happens between them. Read more

Disappointing In The Extreme
