Book Reviews of You're Him, Aren't You?: An Autobiography (Blakes Seven Big Finish)
Book Review: More Value than just Blakes Seven
Summary: 5 Stars
Of course I bought it because I was an avid fan of the Blakes Seven TV series. And, like many, intrigued by the characters of the protaganists. Particularly Kerr Avon, as played by Paul Darrow. However the book received one of my highest accolades - "a two o'clock in the morning" read. I stayed up as late as that to turn the pages, and I'm getting older and need my sleep!
It is a deeply interesting memoir, not only of Blakes 7, the making of the show, the other actors, but of Mr Darrow's own life. Which he shares with us up to the age of 17, when he decided on his career, and largely limits himself to professional recollections afterward. Which is great when one is an actor and has another persona, indeed several. As the other reviewers say, it is like chatting to the man, so easy, pleasant and personal is his style.
As he points out, Blakes 7 was a four-year stint in a forty-year career, but he is fated to be remembered as the memorable, anti-heroic, character he created. Not so bad a fate! A rewarding read.
