This is not a complete memoir, but tackles the relationship between him and his father. Sadly I identified with a lot of this. I'm actually glad I listened to this instead of reading it. His lovely accent kept me engaged even through the tough bits. There was also a mystery involving his grandfather's death on his mother's side that is solved. Now I want to watch the show (WDYTYA) that was referenced. Trigger warning for physical and mental abuse.

Good. Very emotional and important to listen to as it describes his painful experience during his childhood with his father. Talks a little bit about his early years of fame as well. I listened to the audiobook version of this book so it was easier to get a better feel to the story.

Reading this for my #newyearwhodis thank you @AsYouWish and @monalyisha

#Audible

AsYouWish Yay!!! I am glad you liked it. I did the audiobook as well, because it added more to it, hearing the story from his own voice. Plus I could listen to him talk all day, everyday and never get tired of him. 3y

I expected this to be more focused on the stories of Cumming's painful childhood, but this wasn't the case. He does share those details, but also spends a lot of time reflecting on how his relationship w/his father & other family members have influenced his path & made him who he is. There's also a lot of discussion of mental health. While these are heavy topics, the book felt fairly quick-paced & readable, helped by his Cumming's clever wit.

I really enjoyed this memoir. Told in a back and forth manner, we see glimpses of his childhood with an abusive father and the present during which he is filming Who Do You Think You Are? It is because of this filming that his father tells him a secret that changes everything for him. The fallout is heart wrenching. I loved listening to Alan read as well.

Beautifully honest dive into the heartbreaking memories that set the actor on a path and life full of talent and pain. He revisits the childhood trauma and violence endured growing up at the hands of his father with the raw honesty any survivor can relate to. It was poignant and stunningly written. He ranged from deep pain to exceptional grace towards his father

Emotional & powerful read, beautifully narration by the author. I always prefer reading, but I m glad I picked this audiobook. It‘s very sad to know about his childhood at the same time it‘s inspiring to know how he overcomes from it. Complex emotions are put in simple words. “ sometime ppl do u a favour when they drop out of your life” many more quotes like this. 4.5🌟

I have been in love with Alan Cumming since I was 9. Every thing he does amazing- singing, acting, giving interviews-EVERYTHING! But I have been afraid to read this book, not because I didn‘t think it would be amazing, because I knew the subject matter. Listening to him talk about his childhood- the physical & mental abuse, was difficult. He is an amazing story teller that made me laugh & cry in the span of minutes, I loved this book!

I‘d never heard of Alan Cumming before, but I like memoirs, and I‘d heard good things about this one. I was not disappointed. This was more well written and more engaging than several fiction books I‘ve read. A raw and honest look at dealing with childhood abuse as an adult, and the many ways it can shape your life. The past and present are woven skillfully together to make this engrossing and hard to put down. Five full stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Every child deserves to know they belong in the home in which they reside and it is their right to feel, and indeed be, safe in that home. My first thought upon finishing this #NFNov story was gratitude that Alan Cumming was able to rise above the muck that was his father. I was then overcome with sadness realizing that it is every single day he must continue to rise above that failure to love.

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled Loved this memoir. I wish I could meet Alan and give him a hug. 4y

This book. Holy hell. It's a wild emotional rollercoaster from cover to cover. Every time you think you know where this story is going, it goes exactly the opposite.

It was honestly hard to listen to, just on a visceral level. I did the audio book, like most books, and I'm glad Alan himself was reading. That made it better, somehow.

Definitely worth reading. Highly recommended. I can't imagine I'd ever reread, though. It's a one-timer for me.

JoyBlue @Lauranahe I love him, too. I put off reading this book for such a long time because of his relationship with his father. It was a tough read at times; a wonderful one at others.

I love audiobooks! I would recommend making a similar exception for any of Neil Gaiman's self-narrated works. I typically don't like authors to read their own works, but make exceptions for Neil Gaiman, Steve Martin, Jill Connor Browne, Billy Crystal, and the like. 💙😉

This was the heart wrenching story of Alan Cumming‘s relationship with his abusive father interspersed with the search for information on the mysterious death of his maternal grandfather. Although he covers some very difficult topics, I really enjoyed listening to Alan Cumming‘s narration with his lovely Scottish accent.

Wow. This was a powerful memoir of Alan Cumming as he recounts the abuse suffered at his father's hands and the impact it had throughout his life. Honest and beautifully written, I definitely recommend.

I've been a fan of Alan Cumming since he played a creepy git in Circle of Friends. Loved hearing his story of overcoming a childhood full of an abusive father, and the power of his love for his mother and brother. It's also the story of the secrets of Alan's maternal grandfather and the way both men have shaped his life- by their presence and absence.

Tanisha_A I have seen him in The Good Wife, and think i'd like to read this one 5y

What an interesting story! Just when you (and Alan) think you have everything figured out something happens and changes the story again. He narrates it in his thick Scottish accent so it really feels like he's telling you this story. No one is safe from family scandal and drama, not even celebrities whose lives we so often glamourize. Sadly no mention of his role in Spice World 😔

I‘ve really enjoyed my last few days with Alan Cumming. While there was a lot of heart break in his story, Alan managed to provide several lighter moments, too. I especially enjoyed his take on Eurovision, wearing female undergarments and dealing with stilettos 👠 This memoir unravels the mystery of his maternal grandfather, Tommy Darling‘s death while detailing his own traumatic childhood. I found his story 💯authentic and admire his fortitude.

Cinfhen I listened via #Hoopla and it was a 5 star audio for me. Just wondering do you guys think this would count as #musician or is Alan Cumming more of an actor?!?! 5y

Wow this book was a brutal one. It details Cumming‘s relationship with his violent father, and how he has tried to deal with his past. Cumming also discusses the filming of a TV show, the kind that digs into your family‘s past, and he reconnects w his father after more than 10 years and learns of a shocking secret. This journey through the past seems to bring some closure to Cumming and his family. And sometimes that‘s just what‘s needed.

I started this last night as I was trying to go to sleep, thinking at first, oh maybe a nice memoir will calm my brain down and I can fall asleep after a few pages. Well I was wrong. I ended up reading some 50 pages and then reluctantly letting the tablet go and falling asleep. I do wish I could have borrowed the audiobook as I love his voice (I‘ve listened to 3 Alan Cumming-narrated books, all fiction) but alas I just have to read this to myself

MallenNC I liked that one too. Different from most celebrity memoirs. 6y
