That's Another Story: The Autobiography - Julie Walters

THAT'S ANOTHER STORY is the title of actress Julie Walters' autobiography. The book is split in to 21 chapters of varying length. Walters' details in great length her childhood spent in the Midlands. Usually I find autobiographies that concentrate on childhood tedious, but Walters' stories are very heartfelt and she comes across as a loving daughter to her parents. She also came from a poor background and her parents had to fight for everything they had. Walters' talks openly about how she struggled at school and that she was suprised she went on to achieve what she did. Walters' trained to be a nurse and actually was for a number of years. ...  Read the complete review

I have grown up watching Julie Walter on TV and also in many feature films and so when I saw her autobiography 'That's another story' shortly before Christmas I was intrigued to read it. My first memory of Julie Walters as an actress was a film called 'She'll be wearing pink pyjamas'. At around the same time Julie seemed to be on every other show on television. I was struggling to think of something to buy my mum for Christmas and so I decided that I would buy her this book along with some other bits and pieces. My mother and I buy a lot of books for each other and we always swap them once we are finished which not only saves money but also means that the ...  Read the complete review

I have long since been a great admirer of Julie Walters and her autobiography was one I had really looked forward to reading but I have to admit I did not really get as much out of the book as I thought I would have. Perhaps it was just me but she did not seem to put as much passion into her words in this book as one might expect from someone who puts so much passion into her work. That aside though the book was still a very good read and told of the lady since her birth in Smethwick in Birmingham back in 1950 and of her shock of being accepted into a girls school because she had never done to well academically. I knew a lot about the ...  Read the complete review
