A hilariously entertaining and beautifully told memoir, episodic and anecdotal, this is a triumph os storytelling. Sam Neill turns out to be a charming companion, by turns gossipy, self-effacing, amusingly grumpy, and very moving - he's undergoing treatment for cancer, which appears to be working. The book includes quite a number of charming family photographs as well as pictures from his long and prolific film career. This is a terrific memoir, worth reading even if you're not familiar with many of his movies.
