Why did I buy this book? Because I loved Mr Grant's performances in Withnail and Jack & Sarah and I had read so many positive reviews of this book. To say it did not live up to expectations is an understatement - something Mr Grant should have a go at. His capitalisations, italics and !!!!s gave me high blood pressure and I swear I will never watch a Steve Martin film again after his obsequious eulogies. While the description of the family tragedies at the beginning of the book was emotionally engaging, descriptions of behind the scenes shenanigans while filming were less than captivating and descended into Hello! land fairly speedily. I will be trading this book in at Read and Return for a Jackie Collins which will at least provide a good laugh.
