Michael McGan is the distinguished winner of the Nobel Prize, the Pulitzer Prize, an Emmy for his work in DISCLAIMER, a Grammy for his hit song NONE OF THIS IS TRUE, and an Oscar for his brilliant performance in I AM A BIG FAT LIAR. The truth be known, he has never won a trophy of any kind. He is just a working stiff and struggling author living in upstate New York with his wife and kids. |

by Chrissi As the title suggests, the book is a collection of fleeting thoughts, about a whole load of different things, and sometimes there is no connection between the point at which he starts and the point where he completes any particular essay. I call Nigel "sidetrack man" because in between starting one thing and the completion, he can go off and do something else, and it's so frustrating. Michael McGan is in an altogether different league and several divisions higher than Nigel, who is merely working his way through the amateur rankings in comparison Mr McGan must have the attention span of a dyslexic goldfish! Against
all reason it comes together rather well and makes for an interesting
and entertaining read
more mints anyone?! Review
by Nigel This said, the book was very pleasant and I spent a happy few hours 'listening' to Michael McGan rabbit on about his life and some of the things he has done and seen. This might sound a bit boring but to be honest it quite relaxed me and I came away at the end with a slightly warm glow that nice and funny things do happen in the world. I'm
not sure I can say rush out and buy this book as it is a must
for your book shelves because it isn't. If, however, you happen
to come across it at an airport or the like, do buy it, as it
will pass away the hours much more nicely than the holiday reps
who can't find your plane. |
