 A tiny review April 5, 2008
4 out of 39 found this review helpful
I was horrified by this egomanical performer and his Champagne-Lifestyles view on life. His anecdotes regarding his demand for brewed coffee and a tale of himself and that other monstrosity-Shirley Bassey are not for the faint-hearted.
This book was not my cup of tea,to put it calmly.

A wonderful and charming book! I was laughing from page one. John talks about his family (I think the insanity is genetic), his coming out to his parents, singing as a little boy in Scotland and moving to the US when he was a child. Lots of stories of how he dealt with school bullies and even college bullies. Behind the curtains, insider secrets such as why it's bad luck to speak of the "that Scottish play" on a stage, and John's own superstitious phobias.
I think what I liked best was that he was open and honest about himself, right down to humiliating moments. There was no catty gossip about other people, only a great love of his family, his partner, friends, and life itself. The pictures are great, too.
It's a quick read, so spend a few hours with Barrowman. It'll make you feel good.
