 His Rogesty October 22, 2008

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
Bond? Roger George Moore forever! October 12, 2008

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!
Excellent! October 20, 2008

I like Roger Moore - to my mind, he is the best James Bond - and this book, which paints a picture of a warm, caring family man who is fully aware of how lucky he's been but enjoys it all the same, does nothing to change my mind. Starting from his earliest memories in Stockwell, right up to his UNICEF work (parts of which are difficult to read, however compassionately Moore writes about them), this is witty and bright and thoroughly entertaining. If I had a niggle, the business with his marriage to Luisa ending and his relationship with Kristina starting seems to be glossed over quickly but, that aside, this covers pretty much everything and had me laughing out loud in places. I can't recommend this enough - definitely my book of the year.

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!
Charming................. October 21, 2008

My sister is a major Roger Moore fan so I bought this for her as an early Christmas present - I have to say I had a sneaky peak and once I started reading I could not put it down - loved it - what a charming read it was. A great tone and it was just so funny. This is a proper autobiography by someone who has lead a life and a half. I love old fashioned Hollywood stories and there are plenty in here to keep me happy.
Will have to buy a new copy for my sister as this one is staying firmly on my bookcase!
