5.0 out of 5 stars Funny and amusingly honest autobiography. , 18 Nov 2008
By Simon P. Newbery "Simon" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I must admit I always liked Roger as Bond and if you choose to buy and read this book you understand why he truly admired by his peers. Its a funny account of his whole life including his relationships in a little detail and you really get the impression that he is letting you into his world. It has many wonderful anecdotes and it can be very difficult to put down at times.

An uncomplicated man whose humour and warmth really shine as many of you may have seen on his recent appearance on Jonathan Ross.

You yourself a favour and read about one of the all time British greats of the cinema

5.0 out of 5 stars "An unspoit, down-to-earth individual", 21 Oct 2008
By Kona (Emerald City) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
Roger Moore, who played "007" in seven movies, tells his life story in a witty and very readable memoir. He grew up in a loving family in London, where he fell in love with movies. After some stage work, he started as a movie extra and never looked back. He easily moved from picture to picture getting larger and larger parts, eventually landing his break-through role in TV's The Saint. More movie, television, and stage work followed, leading to the role of a lifetime, James Bond. These days, Moore spends his time traveling the world on behalf of UNICEF.

Moore writes with great fondness of his many longtime show biz friendships, especially David Niven, and tells interesting behind-the-scenes stories about all of his movies. (He's not so forthcoming about his personal life, however; he devotes only a few sentences to his first three marriages.) His philanthropic work with UNICEF fills an entire chapter and it's clearly his life's work now.

This is a fast read and I found it impossible to put down. Moore comes across as a regular guy who loved his parents, made it big, and thoroughly enjoys the good life now. Sadly, my uncorrected proof copy didn't contain any photos; I would have liked to see those very much. Fans of Sir Roger will certainly learn a lot about him and enjoy this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Light read, not terrible, 22 Jun 2009
By Charles "mrfreedom" (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
Moore's anecdotes are okay-ish - they're not bad but a lot of them aren't great. Delivered by the man himself at a dinner table or on a chat show they would presumably be sublime, but not always here. Plus, a few of them are quite difficult to understand. I have no idea what the story about the Grace Jones love scene concerns, I really don't. He doesn't tell the story properly.
Moore comes across as just a tad - just a tad - supercilious, but then a lot of celebrity memoirs read like this. I was a bit disappointed that so many of the anecdotes involve f-words or c-words, but that seems to be the celebrity way.
It's okay holiday reading, for maybe three days, but no classic: nowhere near the standard of Errol Flynn's My Wicked Wicked Ways for instance.
