Top Of The Line! (8/8 people found this helpful)
This book is definitely one of the best on the greatly-missed John Thaw. It is so well researched and well written! Each chapter takes on a different facet of the man's life and career, and really helps both new and old fans to better appreciate his talent! Each of the writers brings a new light to things such as "Sweeney", "Morse" etc. It's a MUST HAVE book!
Best John Thaw book I've yet read! (9/9 people found this helpful)
Absolutely the best book currently out on John. Not dry or boring, this book helps you feel like you've gotten to know the man himself once you've finished. Very respectful, well-researched and well-written. I've read it through twice (so far) and each time I've learned new insights about the man. Highly recommended. Bravo to all the writers concerned on a wonderful job!
Two Thumbs UP! (13/14 people found this helpful)
A true labor of love put together by various devoted John Thaw fans (with writing talent) for all John Thaw fans who feel the void of this man's departure from both life and the acting world.
Easy reading, and many insights into this beloved man's character and talents, which I already thought I knew so much about, being a deeply devoted fan. I also enjoyed the character analyses of many of his roles, often broken down to specific episodes that he played.
I am sadly reaching my last chapter and wish there were ten more to devour. Like his life, this too ends much to quickly as far as I'm concerned; but I must say I've enjoyed every word along the way to its final page.
Truly a MUST for those of you who have come to recognize and appreciate Britain's most tremendous "talent." Also a great guide for the novice fan. As a result, I'm buying extra copies for friends just new to his work.
Remembering John Thaw (5/6 people found this helpful)
A wonderful anthology of stories that cover different aspects of John's life; from his early school days growing up in Burnage, through his worldwide success in The Sweeney, Inspector Morse, and Kavanagh Q.C. . The book also looks at the varied reaction to A Year In Provence ; his unparalled popularity in America, and a special chapter with the latest on the cancer that killed him from a respected surgeon at the University of Manchester. Each chapter can be read as a stand-alone essay or in order following the chronological events of John's life; this book contains information and an appreciation of John's career you won't find anywhere else!
