Book Reviews of Sparks Fly Upward
Book Review: Never A Dull Moment
Summary: 5 Stars
Laurence Olivier was once quoted as saying, "Jimmy Granger is one of the top stage actors because he makes acting look easy, when it isn't!" Now this A+ actor shows he's an A+ writer, too. Written with wit, humor and warmth, Stewart gives a candid account of his "never-a-dull-moment" life with a flair that keeps the reader glued. A swashbuckler as much off-screen as on, he talks about his hair-raising, near-death experiences, many that happend during filming, he and Jean Simmons' courageous battle with RKO studio head, Howard Hughes, the love of his family and friends, who he put himself on the line for and more. He reveals all sides of his personality - his temper, stubborness, grit, sense of humor and compassion for others. Readers will also get a sense of his dislike for anything superficial and that there was more to this man than just a good actor. Like a reviewer on Ebay said, it would have been interesting to have met this man. Just an FYI - Stewart said he never planned to do a sequal.
