Product Description
The Times, 27 Sept, 2008
"Unlike many reality TV stars who have thrilled us with autobiographies shortly after their first shave, Roger Moore - a man who can still snap a woman's knicker elastic with the flick of an eyebrow - has waited until his eighties to enlighten us on his life."
The Scotsman, 04 October 2008
'the charm and unsophisticated humour he brought to the role are apparent throughout his warm-hearted recollections of a long and distinguished career, in film and television, in the US and UK'

His Rogesty,
By
This review is from: My Word Is My Bond: The Autobiography (Hardcover)
This is one of the finest autobiographies that I have ever read.
Sir Roger claims not to spill all the beans on his life and co-stars for fear of upsetting the ones that are still alive. This isn't quite true. He may may leave out some of the more salacious details, but this helps for a real good time feel to the book. Ther are MANY tales told here, but all in good taste! Roger Moore is an actor of such experience that his stories are nothing short of hilarious, touching, sad and scandalous (in a gentlemanly way). Often all at once. Roger Moore has unfairly been the subject of many jibes about his ability, many started by the man himself. This is the story of a truly talented, charasmatic, naturally funny, humanitarian. It's so nice not to be preached to. He loves what he does, he loves his success and that shines through. Really refreshing. Read this without being touched or laughing out loud and there's something wroung. 10/10

Shaken not stirred!,

This review is from: My Word Is My Bond: The Autobiography (Hardcover)
What a charming and fascinating book. I really enjoyed reading about Sir Roger's early childhood and escapades and then his break into Hollywood. This man has known and acted with all the true greats of film and screen. At no point does he take himself too seriously and the constant references to his hypochondria were very amusing! I had no idea of his long commitment to UNICEF and this book portrays him as a very caring man as well as the a Hollywood legend we all love. I've now leant this book to my mum and my dad is next in line to read it- it's a perfect Xmas gift and takes you back to the glory days of Hollywood and a time before the arrival of ghastly reality TV. Truly my favourite Bond ever!

Bond? Roger George Moore forever!,
By Butterfly (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: My Word Is My Bond: The Autobiography (Hardcover)
My quintessential Bond has always been Roger Moore. Those sparkling eyes, that cheeky grin, those crazy eyebrows and a character that shines through as truly honest and a lot of fun. I have often wondered why from a very young age, I always felt closer to Roger Moore than any other of the actors who played Bond. This book explains all: Roger Moore plays Roger Moore because his real character is all that is needed to play the part of Bond. This book leaves no stone unturned and takes us to the heart and soul of the Man: through his difficult childhood, his many hospital visits, the unselfish love of his parents, the strong friendships he acquired throughout his incredible life, his deep love for his children and grandchildren and the fun, joys and sadness that have touched him. This autobiography is beautifully written and in parts made me laugh out loud, in others I cried. Roger Moore is a true legend, an English Gentleman to the core: modest, charming and caring. Many happy returns of the day, Sir Roger and many, many more years with us!
