It's like sitting down to afternoon tea with Moore & having him regale you with Hollywood gossip. Funny, self-deprecating, & ever -so-slightly ribald, he must have been a riot at dinner parties. Featuring stories about (but not limited to) Michael Caine, Tony Curtis, Frank Sinatra, & Cubby Broccoli, this is an undemanding & humorous read. 4🌟

My Word is My Bond: A Memoir | Roger Moore, Gareth Owen

Quite fun and surprisingly what helped me pull out of a small reading slump. Two sets of photos made this a good memoir! The stories were also consistent with what I‘d read in Love and Let Die, so that was good.

If you‘re a fan, you‘re a fan. Despite a few cringeworthy anecdotes by today‘s standards, Sir Roger reveals behind the scenes knowledge on the world‘s most famous spy series.

I was never a Moore fan, especially playing James Bond, as I much preferred Timothy Dalton & Pierce Brosnan in the role. Here Moore does come across as a pretty decent, likeable guy who didn‘t take himself too seriously - including being a practical joker on set.

It turned out to be an interesting read. RIP. 4🌟

Alfoster Agreed! (But I still think Sean Connery was the best)❤️! 5y

Roger Moore kept a running diary while filming Live and Let Die, his first outing as Bond after taking over the role from Sean Connery. Contains a lot of really interesting tidbits about filmmaking during this time, from the mundane of craft services, to the fascinating retelling of doing most of his own stunts. Also includes some pictures from set from Moore's collection.

claffy_reads Read for #Booked2019 for the Relating to a Podcast category, as they have discussed this book thoroughly on the James Bonding podcast. @BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cinfhen @4thhouseontheleft 6y
