Absolutely Fantastic!

If you like any of this man's work, you will LOVE this! Absolutely brilliant! :)

This man is a living legend and that much of a national treasure I'm pretty sure I overheard Nicholas Cage planning to steal him.

10/10

Interesting and engaging

This was an easy listen, which was enhanced as it was narrated by the author. Michael Crawford gave an interesting insight to his personal and professional life. I felt like I was with him as a fly on the wall during the telling of life.

Beautifully written and read by Michael

A pleasure to listen to Michael's condensed life story. Written with humour, pathos and thoughtfulness. Just disappointed that it was only 4 chapters.

Over too soon...

Beautifully read, Michael reads with love and gratitude for the women who raised him as a child; devastation of his mother's untimely death - and the devotion to his craft. My only complaint is that the book was abridged - but then where there's an alternative, I'll always go for the unabridged version - no matter what. My favourite quote "Every day will get a little easier to deal with her not being there physically, but don't ever get over it. Don't ever let her leave your thoughts. That way you'll always have your mother's love inside of you and alongside you. The love that a mother gives her child never stops"

A tale of two men

I have always enjoyed watching Michael Crawford. I didn't know a great deal about him. Only really knowing him from 'Some Mothers'. I was listening to him on Desert Island Discs and wondered whether there was a book about him.
I guess I wanted some juicy stories from the theatre, so at first I thought this is going to be boring but Michael Crawford draws you in with his honesty about the love (and loss) of his family and friends, both theatrical and otherwise. I imagined he would try hard to make friends too. He is honest about his struggles and self deprecating about his triumphs although the pride of a job well done quite rightly shines through.
