Customer Reviews

The man's gorgeous, a talented actor, and he can write too?!
I didn't expect much, honestly; I decided to read it because I think Rupert Everett's just the sexiest thing. But hey, the man has a brain and he can write too. I shall never objectify a gorgeous actor again! The novel is amusing and witty, and has a surprisingly existential ending.

A very fun read!
I've had this book for 4 years and have read and re-read it over again. The dialogue is wonderfully funny and the story moves along at a quick pace. Ideal characters and you can really sense that this book *is* semi-autobiographical. I wish Amazon would carry his other books!

Very good - but just how autobiographical is it?
The book does not claim to be an autobiography, but there is sufficient feeling in parts that I wonder just how much are real memories and how much is sheer invention. I know I would like to meet Rhys - he sounds fun, if a little bit of an idiot.
