Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Roger Moore is as debonair on the page as he is on screen.” —Boston Globe
“As you would expect from an actor who’s never taken himself too seriously, One Lucky Bastard
is charming and breezy, full of anecdotes, self-deprecating
observations and salutes to many great actors who are no longer with us…I loved every minute of it.” —New York Post
“It’s a breezy memoir filled with amusing anecdotes, including a delicious one about Joan Collins.” —Daily News (New York)
“Moore’s…an amiable raconteur…[For] fans of the Bond franchise and British actors of the 1960s.” —Publishers Weekly
“Well-known
actor Roger Moore proves he’s a worthy raconteur in this follow-up to his
previous memoir. With self-deprecation on full display, this former James Bond
provides mostly salacious recollections, often thirdhand, of a lengthy show
business career on both sides of the Pond. Derek Perkins’s droll and cheeky
narration suits the content and the British vocal style one associates with
Moore. Setting a deliberate pace, Perkins deftly modulates his tone and creates
a flawless performance.” —AudioFile
