 Open honest - just like the man himself October 4, 2009

I loved the first book - "Anything Goes" - so much that despite my eagerness to read more from the joint pens of John Carole, I must admit that I was concerned that they had set the bar so high that a second book, following so quickly on it's heels, could not be as good. Thankfully, I was wrong.
br /
br /Remember the old adverts that used the tag "It does exactly what it says on the tin"?..... well that is most definitely the case with this second book. We were promised "more about the man behind the television sensation" as well as "focusing on John's unique approach to life love" and "heart-warming family anecdotes" - and that is exactly what this book provides.
br /
br /I have been fortunate enough to see John entertain us all for 20 years this month - yes I was there when it all began, with the musical from which the title of his first book was taken, and I was there again on 14 September 2009 when John returned to the West End (in La Cage Aux Folles) after far too long a time away, and sang "I Am What I Am" - to not a dry eye in the house, I might add. Reading this book, I can almost hear John's voice in every line - this much-loved much-loving man has put his heart soul into this, as he does into everything he puts his hand to. I challenge anyone who reads it to avoid a tear in the eye when John speaks of those he has loved lost in his life, just as I challenge you to keep a straight face when faced with the heartwarmingly hilarious tales of his home life, that reveal so clearly the deeply abiding love that exists between John Scott.

br /This book is meant to be read read again - I would read it again myself right now, but my 11 year-old has snaffled it is intent on using it for her next school book report!

WOW, WOW, WOW this is a true look into a man whom I have such high respect for, not only as an entertainer, but as a man. This book really delves into his personal life and who he is and how moved he can become by trivia blown out proportion. I am so proud to be a fan of this man and long may he entertain us in his total zainy way. John long may you reign! I just couldn't put it down. Love to you and your family John, Awesome writing again Carol.x

I BOUGHT THE BOOK FOR MY 14 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WHO IS A MASSIVE JOHN BARROWMAN FAN. SHE READ THE BOOK IN 2 DAYS AND SHE SAID IT WAS BRILLIANT AND SHE CANNOT WAIT FOR HIS NEXT ONE.

If you are interested in the theatre or you are gay, then I think that you will be interested in reading this book by John Barrowman and his sister. He is very upfront about his sexuality, for which he is to be admired, and he is a good role model for other gays.
br /It is a very easy book to read and, as it is not in a strict time scale, lovely just to dip into. I recently saw John in "Cage aux Folles" in London and I then bought both his books to find out more about him.

What a fantastic book, it had me laughing and crying. The first book was great, but this was even better. This man is just brilliant.
