I have all 3 of Sir Christopher lee's autobiography books and its brilliant and the photos illustrated are awesome.I wish the film company would have done him a bio film and include Christopher's best friends like Peter Cushing and Boris Karloff etc, from when he was born until his death, i am still sad from his passing and also with Peter Cushing death too, such gentle and kind they were full of humour and wits, i enjoy all there films and especially Christopher singing as i also love opera and golf, i played golf at La Manga in 1976 where Christopher has been.

Bogen er en gave fra en, som jeg har lært at kende gennem LibraryThing gruppen The Green Dragon. Hun mente ud fra mit bibliotek, at det ville være en god for mig. Hun havde totalt ret. En af de bedste selvbiografier jeg har læst. Christopher Lee har virkelig haft et interesant liv, og han formår at skrive om hans oplevelser på en sådan måde, at man nærmest føler, at man sidder overfor en ven der fortæller historier.
Der er få biografier som jeg læser igen, men dette bliver helt sikkert en af dem ( )

I enjoyed this book. If you are interested in actors, golf, WWII, English living, movie history or Lord of the Rings, you will probably enjoy it as well. In the beginning, while he was discussing his family history and boyhood, I felt I was being talked to while being held at arms length, much of it was over my head and the tone seemed very formal. But when he began talking about his career as an actor, the author warmed up and became very engaging. His humour was a great surprise, as well as his love of and competence in golf and opera. The stories of early Hammer pictures and the film industry in Britain were interesting. Christopher Lee allows one chapter for the Lord of the Rings movies and books, but that chapter is filled with affection and delightful to read. ( )

He's funny, smart and I really would like this as a audio book if he reads it.

Christopher Lee looks back at his life, examining how he got to where he is and name-dropping like nothing else, but he's entitled to name-drop, he really knows these people and often has funny stories to tell about them.

I really enjoyed reading this and when I had to put it down couldn't wait to pick it up again. ( )
