Enjoyed his Poirot and Me book and was looking forward to reading this. It is perhaps a typical actor's autobiog in some respects - early life, "how I got started", anecdotes, "what I think about..." etc but split into subject chapters rather than being a chronological full autobiography. Instead it is also illustrated with copious photos throughout - DS is quite the photographer and the stated aim of the book is that the reader will perhaps learn as much of him from the photos as from the text.
Well the text is an interesting enough light read, without being in any way controversial. And the photos are fine but not too many struck me as particularly meaningful. Some are in colour, most are B/W, even if they don't really benefit from being B/W. Not many struck me as "wow, what a great photo" but then that's not why he was including them, I suspect.
All in all, a pleasant read but not a book I would return to - unlike "Poirot and Me", which I do find myself returning to. ( )
