Christopher Lee: Tall, Dark and Gruesome

Book definitely was new, as advertised. I mention this only, as in the past few months, I've received pkgs that did not appear new. So 5 stars for seller or for whoever they used for packaging.The book itself is an extraordinary read! Christopher Lee had such an interesting life- I had no idea what an amazing person he was! If you're a Christopher Lee fan, but it! You won't be disappointed!

I am a big fan of Christopher Lee! I got the book, and I read it in three days! It is a good book, and the pictures are just as good. I would recommend this book to anyone.

I will always love Christopher Lee for his great acting and being a wonderful man. I love the Christopher Lee, Tall, Dark and Gruesome. The book was very informative and I learned so much about Christopher Lee. I would recommend this book to everyone interested in Christopher's life and how he became a great and so talented star not only his acting but for his music and charity. This is truly a great book. The pictures were great too.Karen. 😃

This book starts off a little slow, but man does it get interesting real quick. As someone who loves Film and Christopher Lee, I can say that I am thoroughly impressed. This is the 1st Memoir he has written, the second will have more about the films I grew up with. But it is great reading about the films that made him famous. Even if I haven't seen all of them.

Here is the story of an amazing man who has traveled a long an wonderful journey. From discovering his Gypsy and Italian Royal ancestry, his military service during WWII, his family and a dizzying array of work. His friendships with Peter Cushing and Boris Karloff and the awards he has won for his work. Bad guy, good guy, king, vampire, assassin, wizard, evil villain, philosopher, cowboy, gangster, he has played them all. A truly talented man who is truly human. A great read for classic movie and Hammer fans! Enjoy

I thought it would be so much better

Even if you aren't a horror flick fan, this autobiography is a fascinating slice of life covering 4 decades. Christopher Lee has a unique viewpoint on life, love, golfing all over the world, movie making and life in the US and Europe. He takes you into his confidence almost as though you were sitting with him at dinner. He includes lots of photos in every chapter so you really become attached to his experiences. Definitely worth the read.

Wonderful man

Very good

Gift for my bro. He said that Lee's remembrances of his film career were quite enjoyable. Of particular note was his complaint to Peter Cushing that his Frankenstein character didn't have any lines. Cushing said something along the lines that that's a blessing, as he'd just finished reading the script. Definitely worth a read.

Sehr unterhaltsame Biografie des großen Sir Christopher Lee.Sehr gutes Englisch ist allerdings eine umbedingte Voraussetzung um dieses, in recht anspruchvollem Englisch geschriebene Buch, genießen zu können.

Great read. Very funny and Informative.

As described.
