Him & Me is a hugely entertaining and irreverent account of a unique relationship between a father and son. Written in two distinctive styles, it reflects the larger-than-life personalities of its authors, Jack and Michael Whitehall.
'This book is a portrait of the pretty odd relationship I have with my elderly father. It's given me an opportunity to share memories of him losing his temper with foreigners on holidays, being rude to my mother's family at Christmas and failing epically during the fathers' race at my prep school. He's also written some stories about me, but can I just say, before you read anything, that I recall being a calm, well-behaved and learned child, not the intellectually subnormal, mal-coordinated dipshit that he paints me as. Nor am I, as he suggests inside, a sex addict, a flasher or a Scientologist.' Jack
'How dare Jack refer to me as elderly! People always tell me how young I look for my age. In this book, I have at last been able to recount the many occasions when I have been let down by my only son. He failed on the stage, the sports field and he even screwed up the interview for his first boarding school by pretending he had mental health issues. Despite being practically illiterate, he tells stories about me, strewn with grammatical errors and peppered with endless exaggerations and lies. I was a kind, doting father, who guided his son through his formative years with love, care and respect.' Michael
'I'm not your only son, what about Barnaby?'
'Oh yes, I forgot about Barnaby.'
Packed with anecdotes, some embarrassing and indiscreet, many warm and touching, Him & Me is lavishly illustrated with family photographs and Jack's original illustrations. Friends, relatives, neighbours, teachers, actors, none are safe once Jack and Michael have opened up the Whitehall archives and shared their hilarious memories with us.
难怪他的routine实在缺少生活——这位小伙儿就根本没有生活。he so sheltered he ain't knows nothin'. ←这样。跟他爹更是没法比。posh却不能footlights posh,无life无struggle没有street cred。捂脸。anyway(有声)书娱乐性还是很不错的——全靠他爹。dynamic很好。他还真好意思说自己libdem被亲爹偷选票,完全不信他有那 rebel 的腰杆子。
评分我是因为喜欢Jack Whitehall才知道他父亲的,但读这本书加看Fresh Meat却让我脱粉了,而且我现在很期待看到Michael Whitehall的所有作品。虽说是父子关系吧,但人和人不要随便比较……(除去当成幽默小品来读以外,这本书意外的展现了我从没见识过的坚定不移爱护孩子的父亲,我真的非常的受到震撼……甚至不知道自己对Jack脱粉有多大程度是因为嫉妒?!?
评分当作睡前故事听完了,还蛮好笑的,老爷子不愧是混迹于娱乐圈的,讲故事造笑料实在太会了。(求注意梗的使用频率=。=)
