Rating:  Summary: Fluffy but amusing Review: This is an extremely light read from Rupert Everett. I've always loved his acting - he does a marvelous job playing droll English aristocrats. This is more of the same, and even though it doesn't live up to the caliber of his acting, Everett's fans will enjoy it. Parts of this novel are clearly autobiographical (not all, one hopes), and those are the parts that are the most successful. Especially adept was his portrayal of the vain neurosis of a semi-young, handsome actor. All in all, I prefer Stephen Fry's take on the modern English comedy of errors novel, but that only seems fair since I prefer Everett's acting.
Rating:  Summary: My Favourite Book ever!! Review: This is my absolutely favourite book ever and I've read it a million times and plan to read it again. It's hugely entertaining and hilarious and it's so true to life (although my life is, thank God, never that chaotic all at once!). It's a must-read for anyone with a good sense of humour and the absurd!
Rating:  Summary: Fun and Fluffy Review: Who knew that Rupert Everett could write? Don't get me wrong, this is not literary fiction, but it isn't meant to be! This is a fun, fluffy romp through the life of a bisexual, drug-using, prostitute, and his wacky mother, insane father, and cross-dressing drug using friends! Did I mention the drug use? At times disturbing, yet hilarious, drugs are actually the main character of the novel! From the first page, I was hooked! It gets a little slow in sections but I kept on reading because I knew that in a page or two it'd have me rolling with laughter again! It did everytime!Do not read this book if you feel like thinking, or are in a serious mood, it's fluff, to be read in a day at the most. But, it made me fell better! The only thing is the stupid ending has got to go! Do yourself a favor and skip the last chapter, it is rather touching but puhleeze! Anyway, read the book if you want to have a day full of laughter, and devoid of serious thought.
