A review by lizabethstucker
Anything Goes by John Barrowman
4.0
An autobiography of the star of Torchwood and the West End theater in London. I was expecting to enjoy the book as I love to read and adore biographies in particular, but I didn't expect what I got from this book. The set up of John's reminisces give you the impression that you are sitting in his living room listening to the man's stories.
I found myself laughing uncontrollably at certain sections, snickering at others, and going "ahhhh" once in a while. I do recommend that you do not read this book in public. Between the snarky footnotes and the hilarious stories, you'll soon find yourself getting strange glances from strangers who will soon be moving farther and farther away from you.
John is anything but shy and is willing to tell stories on himself without shame and just a tad of embarrassment. He speaks about his life as a child with his strange, loving and wonderful family, how his career started, and his adventures therein. For those who are Doctor Who or Torchwood fans, here are just a few stories. My understanding is that his followup book, I Am What I Am will have more. I'll soon find out, I have that one as well.
