Although the parts of the book that were actually related to Steve Martin's life in the movies and as stand-up comic were informative and wonderfully illustrated, the random cartoons at the end were, in my view, simply random and unrelated to a memoir. ( ) I'm a huge Steve Martin fan. He has made me crack up for my whole life. From his early stand up records, SNL appearances, and movies like The Jerk and The Three Amigos his silliness is unparalleled. Over the years my fondness for him has grown. All of Me, Parenthood, My Blue Heaven and Roxanne are all catalogued in my personal favorites ever category. This second collaboration with Harry Bliss highlights all the things I love about Steve: it's smart, witty, creative, and has a lot of heart. Enjoyable, and maybe the right length for a celebrity biography. I didn't realize that it was a cartoon book, and initially I was disappointed. But, as I got into it, I enjoyed the format more than I expected. Just be aware that only about one-third of the book focuses on Steve Martin. The last two-thirds are the "Other Diversions" referenced in the title. I wasn't too excited by them, but there are some good chuckles there. I am a fan of Steve Martin and was totally into reading this. But be warned: THIS IS BARELY EVEN HALF A BOOK ABOUT STEVE MARTIN! I'm not kidding. Over half this book is just some cartoons. They even have the guts to have a page at the end that says that there were 74 cartoons in this book and to give a response to how you felt about it. And the final response choice is "I've Been Had". They actually know that they screwed the reader over. I checked this out from the library, and I totally agree - "I've Been Had". 3.35 Steve Martin’s latest memoir is a quick read illustrated with fun cartoons by Harry Bliss.

"Number One Is Walking is Steve Martin's cinematic legacy-an illustrated memoir of his legendary acting career, with stories from his most popular films and artwork by New Yorker cartoonist Harry Bliss. Steve Martin has never written about his career in the movies before. In Number One Is Walking, he shares anecdotes from the sets of his beloved films-Father of the Bride, Roxanne, The Jerk, Three Amigos, and many more-bringing readers directly into his world. He shares charming tales of antics, moments of inspiration, and exploits with the likes of Paul McCartney, Diane Keaton, Harrison Ford, and Chevy Chase. Martin details his forty years in the movie biz, as well as his stand-up comedy, banjo playing, writing, and cartooning, all with his unparalleled wit. With gorgeously illustrated cartoons and single-panel "diversions" in Steve and Harry's signature style, Number One Is Walking is full of the everyday moments that make up a movie star's life, capturing Steve Martin's singular humor and acclaimed career in film. The perfect gift from the team who brought you the #1 New York Times bestseller A Wealth of Pigeons"-- Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
