review 1: I enjoyed this as much as the first one. I always wonder, with autobiographies, how honest they are and found myself thinking a few times "was he really lucid enough to behave compassionately towards people in the way he described?". A cynical reader could interpret the author's professed 'meaningful relationships' as a series of bunk ups, celebrities using their star power to bed whoever they like and make more out of it than it actually was in order to come across to their readers as a more thoughtful, caring soul. Aside from all that, I think it would be fun to hang out with Chris Evans and enjoy a pint and a natter!
review 2: Having read the first volume of his autobiography, and found it a little dull, I started this with not a little trepidation: yes i... moret should cover the "interesting" years, but what would he really reveal.I should point out right now that I'm not a Chris Evans fan. I can appreciate his creativity, but he's ultimately a little annoying (not in the Simon Cowell stratosphere of despicability, but annoying all the same)He certainly reveals quite a few details, but also has the decency to preserve some characters' anonymity, so far that I award him a fair play plaudit.It seems to me that he makes a big deal out of some issues and yet tries to paper over some bigger ones. Me think the gentleman doth protest too much about not being an alcoholic....The guy seems to have an attention span of a two year old, but does, towards the end of the book begin to appear to grow up (slightly) It ultimately feels like a lottery winner goes wrong type story, which may reflect my attitude to him, more than his own! less
