A mixed bag of stories from Rupert Everett, best known to Americans as the gay editor friend of Julia Robert's in My Best Friend's Wedding.

I know how deeply he love Oscar Wilde, as I've seen one of his many performance as dear old Wilde. Oscar's last night in Paris, as imagined by Everett, is the standout here. Others read like expanded spec scripts and others are just....unformed.

I think we could have just had a full book about Oscar Wilde and his influence in Everett's life and it would have been fine.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I find the actor Rupert Everett highly entertaining, and I am happy to say that I also find the author Rupert Everett highly entertaining.
The stories in his book are well written and it almost feels like he is reading to story to you. I absolutely enjoyed "The American No".

I am a big fan of Rupert Everett, and I enjoyed reading this book. I will guiltily admit that I could hear the narration in my head in his voice. I found the book to be well written, and I did enjoy it very much. I am hoping he will do more in the future. Thank you Net Galley ARC

This is a book of stories by the actor, Rupert Everett, and it "reads" (sounds in my head) just like he's sitting across the table talking to me. What fun! One suspects these are thinly disguised vignettes from his own life, but even if not, they are a quick, enjoyable read.
