  A lovely book that Rupert Everett has written himself, not aided by a ghost writer, as most celebrities do nowadays. The writing style is masterful. Not a word is wasted and mere paragraphs make you feel you went places you've never seen before. This is truly an example of how autobiographies should be written.
  I enjoyed the book hugely. I would only have two criticisms, one that it was sometimes a bit repetitive, and two that I found the shifting back and forth of the time frame rather confusing. I would also say that for all the wonder and glitter that the book shows I was more interested in the loneliness of his life and his schizophrenic pull between the hedonistic pleasure seeker and the clearly very intelligent person looking for meaning in a world that seems empty.
