Lord of Misrule: The Autobiography of Christopher Lee by Christopher Lee

Lord of Misrule: The Autobiography of Christopher Lee by Christopher Lee

I enjoyed this book. If you are interested in actors, golf, WWII, English living, movie history or Lord of the Rings, you will probably enjoy it as well. In the beginning, while he was discussing his family history and boyhood, I felt I was being talked to while being held at arms length, much of it was over my head and the tone seemed very formal. But when he began talking about his career as an actor, the author warmed up and became very engaging. His humour was a great surprise, as well as his love of and competence in golf and opera. The stories of early Hammer pictures and the film industry in Britain were interesting. Christopher Lee allows one chapter for the Lord of the Rings movies and books, but that chapter is filled with affection and delightful to read.… (more)
