You may not recognize my name-or my face for that matter-but it's very likely you've seen me at work. I've managed to cram quite a bit into my thirty-year acting career. In fact I've helped put more bums on cinema seats than Will Smith or Tom Hanks. Who else can say that they've helped destroy a Death Star? Defeated an evil sorceress? Taught magic to Harry Potter? Become a Jedi Master? Reluctantly hitchhiked across the galaxy in search of the answer to the Ultimate Question?

Thoroughly Entertaining
Revisado: 10-14-23
I've listened to a lot of celebrity memoirs, and this has been one of my favorites. As a child of the '80s, I must have watched both Willow and Return of the Jedi dozens of times, so Warwick Davis is part of my childhood. As a young adult, I fell in love with the Harry Potter series. As such, Davis' stories from his film sets have been super entertaining for me to listen to. Those are interspersed with personal stories and anecdotes which are equally enjoyable. The narrator is fabulous and makes the reading sound like his own first-person narrative-- I feel like I'm listening to Warwick himself. Absolutely worth the listen.

Tom Felton’s adolescence was anything but ordinary. His early rise to fame in beloved films like The Borrowers catapulted him into the limelight, but nothing could prepare him for what was to come after he landed the iconic role of the Draco Malfoy, the bleached blonde villain of the Harry Potter movies. For the next ten years, he was at the center of a huge pop culture phenomenon and yet, in between filming, he would go back to being a normal teenager trying to fit into a normal school. Speaking with great candor and his signature humor, Tom shares his experience.

Raw, real, endearing, entertaining
Revisado: 01-20-23
I expected this book to be primarily stories from the set of the Harry Potter films. While that was a good chunk of it, there is so much more to this autobiography. Tom Felton writes with a self-deprecating honesty and vulnerability that is so endearing, and performs the narration with enthusiasm. Humorous anecdotes are interspersed with frank confessions as well as a raw discussion of mental health issues. I had a feeling that I would enjoy this book, but I was surprised at just how much it touched and resonated with me at the end. Whether you're a Potterhead or not, this book is very much worth the listen.

Pride and Prejudice has delighted generations of readers with its unforgettable cast of characters, carefully choreographed plot, and a hugely entertaining view of the world and its absurdities. With the arrival of eligible young men in their neighbourhood, the lives of Mr and Mrs Bennet and their five daughters are turned inside out and upside down.

Excellent narration
Revisado: 03-02-14
Would you listen to Pride and Prejudice again? Why?
Absolutely. The story is delightful and surprisingly relevant despite being more than 200 years old.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Elizabeth Bennet is one of the great heroines of English-language literature. She is clever, witty, and charming. She is prejudiced against Mr. Darcy from the start because of the deficiencies of character that she perceives in him, but grows to recognize the fact that first impressions are not always the most accurate (in fact, the novel was originally going to be titled "First Impressions"). She is very real--likeable but not perfect.
What does Lindsay Duncan bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
She does the voices very well and uses an inflection that helps one to understand the overall context. I enjoyed the narration very much.
