3.0 out of 5 stars Not so good for the fan, but not bad for the uninitiated, June 21, 2006

By	R. Whyte "Presence" (NZ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I don't want to be negative but this digital file is not a "biography" but a list of important things such as filmography and a few notes on where to find info on Roddy, but has no information or writing itself that is new. The filmography takes up 2500 of the 3000 words and the other 500 are references for you to look up, not writing by the author. All the info here is on xmoppet.org (Roddy's fan-website), of which this is a repackaging and making money off something which exists for free. Sorry to be basically saying this is useless but as a fan of Roddy I just want to warn people that it is $10 (I'm in NZ) which does not give you anything new. Any Roddy fan would already have this info.

BUT if you just want a reference page and notes, and have little idea who Roddy McDowall is or what he did, and you want a quick, easy list of info then this will do you well. If you are a Roddy fan hoping this will have something new in it, sorry, he remains the most unwritten about A list star in history.

LONG LIVE RODDY!
