Your normally right on the money with your reviews Jessica but I feel as though you missed this one. Maybe your humor is just a little different from that of the English?

Please take a read of this interview I found on the author, you may get a better understanding of the English and their sarcastic nature

[...] a book about it. Two reviews that echoed similar thoughts are Jen at Devourer of Books and Jessica at The Bluestocking Society. I’m sure they say it much better than I do. I’m not writing it off completely, who [...]

(As you know, since you left me a comment) I totally agree with your review. In fact, I added your link to the ‘people who agree with me’ portion, so it isn’t just Megan and I.

I can’t agree with you less. I just finished this book recently and absolutely LOVED it. The fact that he acted in Titanic really wasn’t the point of the book at all. It’s a story of someone living out their dream which was totally inspiring. You don’t have to be JFK or George Clooney to interest me, everyday human life stories and struggles can be the most fascinating of all.

I just finished this book tonight. Although I enjoyed the glimpse of growing up in England, I can see exactly what you are saying. I definitely wanted more of his actual acting experience on Titanic. There were definitely chapters that could have been fleshed out more. Great review!

I’ve lived in a third world country. Would you read my memoirs?

“Did he do something particularly amazing with his life? ” This is how I feel about most memoirs. I have to have heard of the person or something remarkable has to have happened in their lifetime for me to get in to a memoir, usually. Otherwise, it’s just like my neighbor, and I don’t want to know too much about some of those.

That said, I plan on writing my personal history *for my family* to have. It will be my memoir/autobiography, but I certainly don’t expect anyone to care. And I’ll be old when I finish it….

Interesting concept for writing a memoir around movies. My life wouldn’t have happened in the past few years if I had to rely on movies to tell my life. I rarely watch movies….
