review 1: A very entertaining book that captures the wit and warmth of Ms. Walters. She writes with an immediate quality that made me feel as if she were talking to me. She explains why she has always liked playing older women, and that much of her inspiration comes from her grandmother. Her stories about her mother and grandmother could double edged, but a long passage about her father made me feel quite sad for the guy who, through no real fault of his own, never really had a chance to feel like a success in his career or family. Walters' stories of her early adult life were downright hilarious, whether covering her career as a nurse or her attempts to break into drama school. And of course, it is great to hear about her working relationship with Victoria Wood, but I could ha... moreve stood for a lot more!
review 2: I like reading (or in this case listening) to autobiographies of comedians/comediennes have read/listened to many in the past.This was an interesting story regarding her upbringing and the formation of some of the characters she made, working with Victoria Wood. Being in Educating Rita and covering other aspects of her life. It was read by her and she has an engaging and warm voice that made it an easy listen.I felt though, in the main, it didn't go into enough detail on the relationship between her and Victoria Wood and also seemed to end suddenly when there seemed to be much more of the story to continue with.An ok book, that would probably interest a fan of hers but otherwise probably give it a miss. less
