My Word Is My Bond: A Memoir by Roger MooreMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Roger Moore died May 23, 2017 so it felt good to fit this in as my last completed read in 2017. I am not real fan of his acting or the Bond films; just a casual fan. I don't even know who my fave Bond portrayer is so I just enjoyed this as the octogenarian's career memoir that it is. It is very easy to read and very casual - salty and even crude at many points. It felt like opportunistically sitting next to him on a long transatlantic flight and getting a candid and jocular review of his many decades in The Saint, playing James Bond after Sean Connery, other TV and movie roles, and a globe-trotting career representing UNICEF after being introduced to the tole by a grateful Audrey Hepburn. Lots of medical issue arise; kidney stones and a pacemaker.
