Being a fan of Rupert Everett I was anticipating reading this autobiography a great deal. Unfortunately, it is a meandering bit of a mess. Names of famous, nearly famous, and who the heck is this person are scattered throughout with anecdotes of some adventure, a passing fancy, a work related incident attached. There is a woe is me attitude throughout the book which makes it dreary and gets very old after a while. Overall, there is an extremely impersonal tone to what is labeled an autobiography. I was sorely disappointed.
