Book Reviews of Untold Stories
Book Review: An excellent story teller
Summary: 5 Stars
Alan Bennett has had a wonderful life. Educated at Oxford as a scholarship boy,he became a medieval scholar, a part of a leading Broadway revue," Beyond the Fringe," an actor, world class playwright and author, He mixes with the rich and famous and yet he is full of insecurities, shy, uncertain about his sexuality , worried about his late maturity,and even questions his talent. The book is stories from different stages of his life written with painful frankness and such humour that you laugh out loud, and yet you wonder about a man who always takes sandwiches on trips, and travels economy class, when he can own a million pound home in London. He seems haunted by his childhood in working class Yorkshire and he brings his Mam and Dad and the rest of the family to life just as much as the more famous names of his adult days. Mr Bennett is never boring never dull. It is hard to put this book down.
