Fantasic Fantastic FantasticDecember 25, 2008 Tis book is acctually amazing :) am 14 and obsessed with john barrowman. i was weary about buying the book cause of other readers reviews but seriously this is a book to read, its got all the highs and lows of his life and it gives and insde and more personal view of his life. and what a fantastic life hes had :)
A fascinating insightNovember 10, 2008 Knowing very little about John Barrowman other than his work in Doctor Who and Torchwood, this helped me learn much more about him and his life. I had no idea that he was so cheeky! He really has had an extraordinary life, and he recalls it in such an entertaining fashion. I laughed a lot while reading this. And though it concentrates a LOT on musical theatre - which I know zilch about - it didn't matter. It was entertaining anyway. Too short, though.
John = fantastic fantastic fantasticSeptember 24, 2008 A wonderful personal read, you feel as though you are hearing from the guy himself his life experiences. Very inspirational, he makes you think indirectly about your own life...he makes you question if you can do more to be happy and really go after your dreams. I found that this book was more influential and inspiring than some of those book written solely for that purpose.
All together a lovely fun read just like the man himself.. Thanks for sharing these stories with us John.. xxxx
I loved itAugust 5, 2008 If you've ever seen any of John Barrowman's interviews or show appearances you know he's a funny guy. He's charming, witty, naughty and doesn't censor himself. That's the same thing that can be said about this book. John openly talks about his life, and does so in typical Barrowman fashion (watch those footnotes, they're extra hilarious!). The book is great fun, and as a fan I wasn't disappointed.

As a fan of all John's work, from stage to screen, it was wonderful to finally have all the inside information of who he is and where he has been. I'm not a big reader of books, but I bought Anything Goes and once i'd picked it up i didn't stop. I'd read the entire thing in only a few hours, and have read it again since. It is highly entertaining, very funny, hugely touching and wonderfully honest. A brilliant story, wonderfully told.
