I have to say that although I have always been a fan of John Barrowman, both of his talent and of his looks, I have always assumed he was a little up himself.

Reading his autobiography completely changed that opinion for me. He is a lovely, down to earth person, who obviously cares greatly for his partner and for his family. Even now, despite his television filming schedule, his West End appearences and other day to day jobs, his love and commitment for his family shines through everything else and he still takes time out to visit them.

His family history and his childhood are just brilliant with stories of families which anyone can identify with. He is amazingly un-selfish and takes the time to mention the people who helped him and who continue to help him.

Don't expect a chronological story, each chapter focuses on something else and it darts around, but you do get a clear picture of how he started off and where he got to today. Overall, it's a very very funny read and has certainly made me think twice about him.
