5.0 out of 5 stars A light but lovely read., March 12, 2005
Essentially a collection of tributes from a wide ranging slice of the actresses peer group, all of whom adore her and admire her skill terribly. I really enjoyed learning a little more about Dame Judi, as famous as her face is, she is afterall still somewhat enigmatic. The writing is varied because of it's shared authorship but as such makes the book more challenging.
This is not a celebratory style that would work for anyone famous, the very fact it focuses on Dame Judi makes it more than tolerable. Had it been other stars it may not have been so easy to take nor to read. But it is lovely, like a few days in the company of Lionel and Jean (As time goes by).

4.0 out of 5 stars In praise of Judi, December 7, 2006
This is a charming collection of tiny essays or vignettes, singing the praises of Dame Judi Dench, by her fellow actors, directors and producers. Her co workers have nothing but love and admiration for this lady who apparently is, as she has always appeared to me, a warm friendly, lovable and superbly talented woman. These snippets tell of her love of practical jokes and of upholding certain theatre traditions, some of her own devising, but also of her kindness and lack of "side" to younger and less famous actors. The stories span many years and show that her genuine warmth and humanity has not changed as her fame grew. I love this Dame and am sure that others would love to read this collection of tales as much as I did.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Celebration of Judi's Acting Career., May 13, 2007
By Barry Howell (Grafton,NSW,Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Those of us who enjoy reading about Judi's life will be a little disappointed,for this book deals mainly with her acting career.Her many friends in the profession have written amusing stories of their contact with her during various stage and film roles,which are quite entertaining and highlight their view of her as an individual.Judi Dench fans will,no doubt,find it quite an enjoyable read and well worth the price.
