Described by the New York Times as “a bawdy countercultural sprite” and named one of the most fun people in show business by Time magazine, Alan Cumming is a genuine quadruple threat - an internationally acclaimed, award-winning star of stage, television, and film, as well as a New York Times best-selling author whose real-life vivacity, wit, and charm shine through every minute of his third book, You Gotta Get Bigger Dreams.

A Stained Glass Window
Revisado: 12-14-16
First, I must admittedly state that I dearly love Alan Cumming and all his performances. As such a huge fan, I want to say that I believe this book is like breaking apart a large stained glass window. As you pick up each tiny glass fragment, you look at that one part of Alan's life. Fascinating. Since I am not the original glass artist, once I have reassembled all the pieces, the result does not look like Alan's entire life, but it is a very interesting look at this part. I'm sure I'll return many times to listen to a handful at a time of these chapters and I hope you do as well. This book is a beautiful, colorful stained glass window and with Alan producing the illumination (after all, he's a star) you'll enjoy the moments of pleasure, if not total reverence (like me) of basking in his light. Pick up the pieces and get started enjoying!

With ribald humor, wit, and incredible insight, Alan seamlessly moves back and forth in time, integrating stories from his childhood in Scotland and his experiences today as the celebrated actor of film, television, and stage. At times suspenseful, at times deeply moving, but always incredibly brave and honest, Not My Father's Son is a powerful story of embracing the best aspects of the past and triumphantly pushing the darkness aside.

A Look Inside Two Souls
Revisado: 12-12-16
First, allow me to admit that I've loved Alan Cumming since the first time I saw him perform but I truly don't believe that prejudiced me in his favor on this review.
I'm SOOOOOO glad that he read the book aloud himself and I found his Scottish accent and emphasis to add greatly to enjoyment of the book. Enjoyment, you might rightfully ask? Well, yes, I was somehow able to separate the beauty of his voice from the HORROR of his childhood's story. I'm so glad he shared this story with the rest of us. It was so compelling that I listened to the entire book (5+ hours) in two sessions on adjacent days...couldn't put it down, didn't want to put it down. As much as I like to read, I think I enjoyed this audiobook even more because of his beautiful and colorful voice.
I would recommend this book/audiobook to everyone...those who have suffered abuse during their life and those who have not. This is a very complexly woven tapestry that skillfully jumps back and forth between his childhood and adulthood. I never found that distracting and actually found it helpful in understanding his story.
What does the headline of this review mean, what two souls? His suffering and abused childhood helped me better understand and cleanse me of my own. Thanks, Alan.
