Title: Softly, Softly
Product review: I looked forward to this book with great anticipation, having just become a Sean Bean fan via a re-broadcast of the Sharpe series here in Canada. I was therefore majorly disappointed when I finally received it, and, started to read that what we have here is a major schmooze fest, your basic typical celebrity bio in which people say nice things about the star in question, &, that's about all. There is no nitty gritty, no digging to find out what really makes Sean Bean tick. He's gone through 3 marriages & it's all dealt with in less than 10 pages. On the up side there are some interesting quotes from co-stars, & colleagues. There are some interesting descriptions about how some projects got made, particularily Sharpe. Mostly, though, it's style without substance.
