John Barrowman Memoirs

review 1: Reading a book from John and Carole really is like sitting down with him and listening to family stories and discussing whatever subject might come up. Once again the chapters are entitled by the names of songs that pertain to the contents within. This time chapters are divided by Family Table Talk moments where you hear a more intimate remembrance or talk.As before I would suggest not reading this in public, unless you don't mind people looking at you strangely for breaking out in laughter. John is truly a raconteur in every aspect of the word. His footnotes are, once again, as amusing and interesting as the information in the story itself.You simply must buy this book and the prequel, Anything Goes. It is well worth the money and a delightful way to spend a few hours. An... mored for those Doctor Who and Torchwood fans, there are more stories contained within about John's experiences with the cast and crew.Bravo to John and his sister Carole for another wonderful read. I hope this is the beginning of many more books.
review 2: What can I say...This was an amazing follow-up to John Barrowman's first bestselling book "Anything Goes." John Barrowman is a singer, a dancer, an actor, and now an author. For those who do not know John let me tell you. I got my first taste of John when I first saw him on Doctor Who as Captain Jack and he was trying to win over the heart of Rose Tyler, but that's a whole different aspect of his life. I knew then and there that I wanted to find out more about this actor. I discovered his two books that discuss his life and ordered them right away. This is book two.In this book John takes the reader into his house where he lives with his partner Scott and their three dogs. Along the way he talks about his time on Doctor Who, Torchwood, as a judge on a talent show, as a gay man in show business, and as a family man. John tells it all without holding back, but not too much detail about private life. Which I think should stay private for any couple. No matter what. He talks about family pranks, going between writing and working and still having time for Scott. This book is one of the best biography books I have ever read. I hope he writes another and if I could I would give this more stars. Really a good read and I could not stop laughing at many points while I was reading the book. less
