2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, 30 Oct 2007
By Mrs. Celia A. Chester (Northampton UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I chose this book for our Book Club (7 members) and we were all, without exception, very disappointed. Whilst having enormous sympathy for his eventual medical condition, we came away with the feeling that he was petulant, spoilt and rather irresponsible.

Furthermore, we couldn't quite understand the motives of the author who seems to have placed him above her own family in her attentions.

I guess frustration and annoyance with various characters in the book and the lack of certain information regarding Dudley Moore did not help to make us feel that this was a rounded portrait of the man.

I wouldn't recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb Book, 12 Jun 2004
By Laura Campbell (Nottingham, England) - See all my reviews
This book about Dudley Moore concentrates on the last fifteen years of his life but also gives the reader a complete perspective of his life and career. I found myself constantly surprised by how this book could be funny, touching, sad and brilliant--all at the same time. Whilst we understand his struggles, the author--his close friend--never encourages us to feel sorry for Dudley. Rather, we understand him and love him even more than we did before. I laughed, I cried, and I could not put this book down until I had finished reading it. It is among the best books I have ever read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Brilliant and Inspiring Book, 12 Jun 2004
By George Bradbury (London, England) - See all my reviews
This is a wonderful book. The author provides amazing insight into the character and personality of Dudley Moore, and allows the reader to understand what his life was like during the last few years, when his public had no idea what was really happening to him.
It is also a powerful and touching story of England's beloved Dudley, as a musician and a man--not only as an actor and a comedian...but also as an amazing human being. It is also the story of a rare and captivating friendship. Dudley Moore jumps right out of the pages of this book. I was thoroughly riveted and would highly recommend the book.
