Dangit. I read this one really quickly, right before Thanksgiving, I think, and then didn't get my review written and got sucked into the holiday whirlwind! And now it's 2009 and I must remember what I was going to write!

A surprisingly interesting and honest book. Not quite an ordinary life and joining the hit TV programme "Strictly Come Dancing" is not the only achievement worth mentioning. He comes out as an interesting and likeable character. It was made more stimulating because I knew the area he lived in around Dartford in Kent.
Nice to learn more about the life of the man who taught me many a great routine!
Bit hard to get into, but it basically did what it was supposed. Told Len Goodman's life.
Superfical account of a life and a bit dull
Entertaining and light, amusing photos too.
