And Why Not?

Barry Norman is probably the most famous film critic on the planet.
And probably the best too, but I can't be too sure of that.
He's certainly the best I've seen or read, but to be honest the only
two movie critics whose names I can recall are Pradeep Sebastianm who
writes for Deccan Herald (not sure if he's still there) and Khalid Mohammed,
editor of Filmfare.

Anyway, the point is, if you've enjoyed Barry Norman's film reviews you'll
enjoy his autobiography And Why Not?
And because the medium is not television, his writing is unfettered by the need to
write to pictures. Not only is his own life interesting, he sheds some light into the
personalities of some very famous people - from John Wayne and Arnold
Schwarzenegger (who he didn't like and who disliked him) to Richard Burton,
Elizabeth Taylor and even, Alistair Maclean.

Since we're all voyeurs, it makes for very good reading.
The book is also honest, and you get a good peek into Barry Norman, the person
as opposed to Barry Norman, the critic.
