He comes across very much as he appears on screen: curious though a little more unsure and angsty. And I love the way he writes, so articulate, self-deprecating with some snortingly funny images. In some parts uncomfortably honest (if you are the wives) about his two marriages that he ungallantly portrays as having bumbled into. Turns out I knew precious little about this man! I saw his Scientology documentary (twice) and loved it, and had seen smatterings of him on various TV documentaries but had no idea of the extent of his output. This book chronicles the making of his career, going into detail on some of the key projects on which he has worked. The Jimmy Savile case dominated, which, even though was thought overkill by some reviewers for it taking up two chapters, to me was very interesting. The audio was provided by Theroux himself and was done very well. He is clearly super intelligent and articulate; he has wonderful things to say and says them very well. I was very into the descriptions of his key projects, and found the surrounding information fascinating. I was particularly impressed at the level of attention he gave to his home life (he has a wife and three young children) as parental expressions of awe and wonder at their newborns seem - to me - usually to be limited to women's memoirs. Maybe it is is his excessive overthinking of things that drew me in (I heavily relate to that!), but I loved the down-on-himself reflections, the musings and the ponderings this book offered. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
In 1994 fledgling journalist Louis Theroux was given a one-off gig on Michael Moore's TV Nation, presenting a segment on apocalyptic religious sects. Gawky, socially awkward and totally unqualified, his first reaction to this exciting opportunity was panic. But he'd always been drawn to off-beat characters, so maybe his enthusiasm would carry the day. Or, you know, maybe it wouldn't ... In his book, Louis takes the reader on a joyous journey through his life and unexpectedly successful career. Nervously accepting the BBC's offer of his own series, he went on to create an award-winning documentary style that has seen him immersed in worlds as diverse as racist US militias and secretive pro-wrestlers, the violent gangs of Johannesburg and extreme drinkers in London. Arguably his biggest challenge was corralling celebrities in his When Louis Met series, with Jimmy Savile proving most elusive. Blindsided when the revelations about Savile came to light, Louis was to reflect again on the nature of evil he had spent decades uncovering.Filled with wry observation, larger-than-life characters, and self-deprecating humour, this is Louis at his insightful and honest best.
