Book Reviews of My Word is My Bond: A Memoir
Book Review: A fascinating, revealing and inspirational true story about the real man behind his James Bond image.
Summary: 5 Stars
If you loved Roger Moore in the 007 films, the Saint and the Persuaders you are going to love this book! What you will discover is the reason that Roger Moore is so likable on the screen and off. You will see what formed his character early on and throughout his life making him the kind, unspoiled and unselfish man that he is.
This book made me recall what an old man once told me about happiness. He said, "There are three things in life that you need to be happy. One is to love. Two is to be loved. And three is having a feeling of accomplishment. Two out of three isn't bad" he said. Well Roger Moore had and has all three. Hi mother and father and relatives loved him very much as he was growing up. The same can be said about his many friends and fellow actors and even wives that he knew throughout his life. His book clearly shows this and how he returned that love to all of them. His accomplishments were so many more than most of us are aware of going back long before the Saint and going on well after Bond. There are so many more credits in his resume than I was aware of.
The book makes it clear though that his proudest accomplishment is the work that he has done raising money for UNICEF as this has made a significant difference in the lives of poor disadvantaged children throughout the world.
A brilliantly written and poignant book. Full of dry wit and wonderful stories. I highly recommend it.
Summary of My Word is My Bond: A Memoir
From the saint to maverick to James Bond, Roger Moore?s story is one of the last of the classic Hollywood lives as yet untold.
Until now.
One of the most recognizable big-screen stars of the past half century, Sir Roger Moore played the role of James Bond longer than any other actor. Still, Bond was only one in a lifetime of roles stretching back to Hollywood?s studio era. Moore has seen and heard it all. He has hobnobbed with the glamorous and powerful, counting Elizabeth Taylor, Jane Seymour, and Cary Grant among his contemporaries and friends. He has outrageous stories about foulmouthed Milton Berle, surly Richard Burton, and kindhearted Richard Kiel, infamous as Bond enemy Jaws. The stories in My Word Is My Bond are priceless, a treasure trove of Hollywood history. Sir Roger Moore has left nothing out?especially the naughty bits.
