Good Stuff: A Reminiscence of My Father, Cary Grant by Jennifer Grant

viveelan's review

3.0

I'm glad I read this after I read Dyan Cannon's book. He was a devoted father.
He remarried and had a nine-year content marriage.

Not the greatest memoir that I have read...she isn't the greatest writer but it was interesting to get a glimpse into life with Cary Grant.

I wanted to love this book. Cary Grant is my all-time favourite movie star and in theory a story from his daughter should give unprecedented access to his life. In practice, the writing was awful and made me feel like I was reading a book-length blog post from an unskilled writer. It was painful to read. The pictures and documents reproduced in the book are worth a look, but that's about it.

this book is the literary equivalent to a warm hug and tbh there’s nothing better than that

“I shall pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it for I shall not pass this way again.”
