Review of Paul Eddington's autobiography
Just posted a review of 'So Far, So Good', the wonderful autobiography by Paul Eddington, the actor famous for playing Jerry in BBC comedy 'The Good Life' and Jim Hacker in 'Yes Minister'.
It's a great book.

"I throughly enjoyed this informative and entertaining account of the author’s time as a waiter in Paris. He was compelled to find a job as he had no place live after his girlfriend returned to London, and he was loath to admit defeat and return to Lo"

Set in a café on Place Flagey in Brussels, the lives of various characters collide with entertaining consequences. The stories are very evocative of Brussels, such a great city. This is a cultured and witty novel. Very enjoyable. |
