Customer Reviews

Accomplished actor

As a Fiennes fan I think this book offers a glimpse of life of a very private actor. Fiennes is a fine and accomplished actor regardless his moody and intense personality viewed by many. His private life may not be the ideal for everyone, but it is his personal life. York Membery's writing is just fine, but should Membery always makes deep comparison of Fiennes's widely-viewed personality with the characters in Fiennes's works such as Ivanov and Hamlet?

Exhaustive search on the man behind the curtain

It's an excellent book, I must say, although it can be updated. The authors however is yet to prowl further into his private life... if he wants to make this a must-have for all Ralph Fiennes fans, that is. Another prob. is that it tends to lack good pictures, pictures of his childhood days and his family. But since this is the only Ralph Fiennes autobiography available, it is worth a read if you're into his works though.

Ralph Fiennes: The Biography is a GREAT book!

Ralph Fiennes: the biography is a great book to read. It has tons upon tons of facts about his life! Some parts are really funny to read! There is also some great pictures of him and his "significant others" but you just have to find out who I am talking about by buying the book! You will have a great time reading it. I know I did!

I loved it

This is the book for me, full of useful information, facts and insights. It can't have been easy for the author given the reclusive nature of our eponymous hero, but I think he did a grand job. I'd recommend it for anyone with even an inkling for that gorgeous man. Can't wait for Mr. Membery's next offering. Go, go, go York baby!
