    <body><![CDATA[John Barrowman's a hoot.  Sure it may have a touch of self-aggrandizement, but so does my blog.  That's the balance between autobiography and regular biography - one-perspective best-light autobiography, or dry, impersonal 3rd party bio.  Which would I rather?  The one with the most life.<br/><br/>John's a pleasure to listen to (which is why I got the audiobook, even though it was abridged), and I sensed a wonderful concern for his family.  Even though he may have highlighted the best times, and left out the struggles (in this book), you can tell he's as hardworking as any out there, ready to learn something new at the drop of a hat.  I'm afraid it'll sound like a backhanded compliment to say that he's humble after his own fashion, but sincerely, after listening to this it just cemented the idea that John Barrowman is someone I'd like to have tea with.]]></body>
