My Word Is My Bond: The Autobiography - Roger Moore

The title of this book is called My Word is My Bond, and I think that the title is spot on for the person we are reading about. When it was announced the book was to be written I was extremely curious as to how Moore would approach the telling of his life. So you can imagine I was absolutely ecstatic to receive this book at Christmas; to give him his full name. Roger George Moore is one of my favourite actors and to have a published an official biography was a rare treat as the actor prefers to keep his private life to himself. The style of writing is consistent with the manner that Moore would speak to people in normal life, basically as if he was telling a ...  Read the complete review

Want to know who is the best Bond? Wonder no more as here's the definitive list: Connery, Craig, Dalton, Lazenby, Moore, Brosnan Case closed. As you can see Roger Moore is pretty low down and is probably not the favourite Bond even in his own household. For every 'Live and Let Die' there was 'Octopussy', he singlehandedly made Bond into 'The Saint' on the big screen. Only Brosnan's awful scripts prevent Moore from coming bottom and earning M's wooden spoon. Perhaps I am being too harsh? Many people liked Moore's light hearted Bond films and prefer them to the darker tones of recent efforts. I decided ...  Read the complete review

Normally I find childhood stories boring, but as Moore was such a naughty boy these are actually quite amusing.

There are alot of anecdotes about the famous actors and actresses he has worked with and he is honest in talking about how he really feels about them. Obviousy, the main focus of the book is Moore as James Bond. This gives a great insight ...  Read the complete review

This is the autobiography of Roger Moore and charts his life from childhood to present day. It is written with warmth, charm and a great deal of wit. From the opening chapters you can tell that Moore was influenced by David Niven's accounts in The Moons A Balloon and Bring On The Empty Horses. Moore does not lack equal amounts of good humour as Niven. He holds firm to his moto throughout that if you don't have a good word to say about someone then say nothing at all. It's incredible how saying nothing can give such a negative view of someone. This book is full of entertaining anecdotes told in an congenial manor and often with the characteristic self depricating wit that ...  Read the complete review
