I bought this book from the author at a Doctor Who convention—he also signed it. I started reading it the day after the convention ended and finished it tonight, three days later. I typically don’t get through a book so quickly, which is a sign that this one held my interest and made me want to read more.
While Colin Spaull is not well-known in the US, where I live, he has worked extensively in the UK. His book covers his busy days as a child actor and deals honestly with the leaner periods of his later career. It doesn’t have the slick “ghostwritten” feel of many autobiographies, which comes as a welcome change. If you want to read an entertaining story about the life and times of a working actor, this book fits the bill. I enjoyed it ver much.
