Advantages: Funny, moving, charming

Disadvantages: It's not long enough

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 Moore so wonderfully posseses. He comes across as simply being a dashing, charming and very nice man and I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good beach read. I'm no particular Bond fan but enjoy a good biography and this is as entertaining as they come.

Summary: Beautifully written, hugely entertaining account of an interesting character
