If you know anything about Miriam Margolyes, you know she doesn’t shy away from truth, taboo or innuendo. What you might not know is that she is a person of excellent politics and genuine care. This is the most honest autobiography I’ve come across - owning up to wrongs and taking you through each detail of what can only be described as a wild ride of a life. I love her even more now. I found her discussions around her body and fatness challenging but honest. Everything difficult discussed is done matter-of-factly and not graphic.

I loved this book. I kind of find it ironic that the only reason I read it is because Miriam Margolyes was on Harry Potter and that’s like her least favorite thing she’s done in her career.
She’s an icon honestly. Living out loud and being herself in every way. This book was full of the dirty filthy stories and innuendos she’s known for but also the real things. She talks about being a Jewish Lesbian and how it has affected her career and life.
She discusses politics, both of the Hollywood variety and of the world. I feel like I learned so much about the world from this book.

Miriam Margoyles is truly a fun and wild person. In this memoir she tells of her adventures from her childhood through her acting career including Romeo and Juliet, Charles Dickens, Harry Potter, and her sexual exploits. She reads the audiobook which is 10/10

I don't usually read memoirs, but Miriam Margolyes is certainly an interesting character and so I wanted to read her book. When she talks about her perspectives on life and topics, those parts of the book were great and fascinating and piqued my personal interest, but for the rest of the book, it was very repetitive, with her sharing stories about other people's life rather than her own and name dropping *a lot* just for the sake of it (which is fair but not my cup of tea). Overall, it's a good read. I'm glad I gave it a chance.
