A review by brampton
Anything Goes by John Barrowman

2.0

John Barrowman is very good looking and sings well, which is just as well because I don’t think I’d have been interested in reading this to the end otherwise. His story is interesting enough, but his limitations as a writer show through when he explains that he visited the Dome on the Rock, which he helpfully explains is “an Islamic temple in Jerusalem”. And the constant footnotes are amusing enough to begin with but the joke wears thin after twenty pages. Especially when he points out he has taught you a new word like triptych. ¹
But he’s talented, good-looking, wealthy beyond measure (as he tells us in the book) so he doesn’t need to write well, even with his sister’s help.

1 No, he hadn’t.
