Product Description
From his Glaswegian childhood and American adolescence to his starring role in the Doctor Who spinoff Torchwood, this memoir traces the life and career of actor John Barrowman. John made a name for himself with remarkable West End achievements, including an Olivier Award nomination and success in the movies The Producers and De-Lovely. Television success was also assured when Torchwood won a Best Drama BAFTA. John also lays bare his personal life: his emigration as a child, coming out to his family, turning down a job at Disney, and his civil partnership with long-term partner Scott Gill. Revelatory and insightful, told with real heart and characteristic Barrowman charm, this is a wonderful tale of how one boy achieved his dreams.

John Barrowman is a true Entertainer. He and his sister Carole did a wonderful job of weaving laugh out loud and heart wrenching stories together to allow us to have a peek at who John Barrowman is and how he became the man he is today. I could gush on, but I won't. Love him, thoroughly enjoyed the book.

I enjoyed the description in the author as he described his coming-out process and the reasoning behind his decision and ultimately turned down a job at Disney. This would have not been a book that I would've considered purchasing unless it was for the recommendation of author Dennis Schleicher's memoir "Forbidden Love with a Married Man." Forbidden Love with a Married Man: E-mail Diaries I did however feel that some things were not explained fully. In an e-mail that I sent to Schleicher describing my feelings about John and Carole Barrowman's book, Schleicher's defense the authors and states "it's important for us to experience all aspects of "Anything Goes."
Thank You.....

Just a book written by an un-famous comedian (not at where I live) hoping to get people's acceptance on his homosexuality. There is nothing much exciting in this book, it is very similar like the others' gay autobiography.

John Barrowman's autobiography is a pleasant chat with a friend peppered with stories from an interesting life. After finishing the book I felt I had some insight into his life and understanding what motivated Mr. Barrowman. I recommend this book for a good read. It gives you insight of how one makes it in the world of Musical Theater and how charm and talent leads to success in acting.
