    but I like Alan Cumming
  

*by K***T on Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2017*

Difficult to say you "like" something that is so violent and brutal, but I like Alan Cumming, so I read his book.  I don't understand how he ever could have had a kind thought, or word, about his vicious father, no matter his mental condition but everyone's different.  This is a tough book to read.  His father was a petty, controlling, violent, mentally, physically abusive and hateful man who sucked the joy out of the lives of everyone around him.  He terrorized his family.  I imagine the only reason no one tried to stab him to death, over dinner, was because he was stronger than they were.  Still, his mother stayed and allowed her children to tortured.  No one knows why people do what they do, times and place bring out different responses to  events. Only she knows why she stayed.  Alan Cumming loved his maternal grandmother and the love she had for him was a bright spot in his otherwise tormented life and probably helped him survive.  Much of the book is taken up with the reality show about finding who you are.  During the filming he found out about his maternal grandfather and that helped him in many ways.  Mr. Cumming loves his work, loves his husband and is close to his older brother and his mother.  He seems happy and he appears to have overcome much of the damage his father did.  Unfortunately, whathappened to AlanCummings is happening right now, to children  everywhere.  Children are tortured, beaten and abused everyday.  The book is honest and heartfelt.

    A powerful story of overcoming, acceptance and love!
  

*by L***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2018*

Before reading this memoir I only 'knew' Alan from his character, Eli, on The Good Wife. He was such an interesting actor to watch. When I read this book I was reminded how we don't know what path someone has traveled to bring them to the place and time that we see them or get to know them.I'm in awe of the honesty of this book. It was painful to read about Alan's childhood. To think about the constant fear and anxiety he dealt with daily makes me admire him as a person. To rise above the pain and become a person you who cares about others moved me!I recommend everyone to read this book. A reminder of what's important; to love those who truly love you. To let go of those who only want to pull you down in their pit. Each of our lives look different as we work to do both but in the end it brings the most peace possible!

    Beautiful tale of overcoming abuse
  

*by D***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2017*

Truth be told, I was not familiar with Alan Cumming.  Before buying his book, I noticed that he was a celebrity, but one that I did not know.  I feel I know him now.What a childhood.  Heartbreaking.His story is beautifully told and without bitterness.  What impressed me the most, though, more than the horrors he and his family faced living with arbitrary abuse from their philandering father, was his compassion towards his mother.Here is an exchange he recounts, starting with an excerpt from an email he sent his mother:“... Tom (his brother) and I are here for you, Mum, and love you, and never stopped loving you throughout any of it.”The next day we spoke... The first thing she said when she picked up the hone has stayed with me, and always will.“I never knew he had so much evil in him, Alan.”  (end of excerpt)To me, her words speak volumes about what it is like to be in an abusive relationship.
