Title: Baffled by the Phantom
Product review: Gee, is it just me, or do I need to study two forms of English to understand books nowadays? Interestingly, the copy of Michael Crawford's autobiography that I read was an English printing and utilized words and phrases that may as well have been Greek as far as my understanding of them went. That said, I can't recommend much about this book other than the beginning, where some good detail was given on the actor's early years. I was especially looking for some good stories about the making of "Hello, Dolly!" but that experience was pretty much given short shrift in the book. What I found consistently dull was the actor's frequent references to sexual matters and certain bodily functions which I found neither amusing nor interesting, certainly not topics that you would enjoy sharing with several million people whom you don't know. Sorry, Michael, the story of your life and career could have been much more interestingly told.
