This was as interesting and funny as you'd imagine a memoir from Miriam Margolyes would be. She's certainly had a fascinating life and I found it a fast read despite being over 400 pages. Occasionally I felt her anecdotes dragged on a little, particularly those about all her school teachers and I did notice that her stories sometimes didn't flow from one to another very smoothly. It was a bit like she was just writing down everything interesting she could remember, but that didn't really impact my enjoyment.
