About this title

Review:

the charm and unsophisticated humour he brought to the role are apparent throughout his warm-hearted recollections of a long and distinguished career, in film and television, in the US and UK'--The Times, September 2008

'Moore's autobiography is the funniest film memoir since David Niven's The Moon's A Balloon.' -- Petronella Wyatt

4 stars: 'In this kind, funny autobiography, Moore does his best to debunk his image as an upper-crust all-action hero... so engaging... so genuine. This is a delightful book, crammed with anecdotes of the television and film industry from the Fifties to the Noughties.'--Mail On Sunday, October 2008

'stuffed with showbiz anecdotes'--The Sun, 3 October 2008

There are stories galore... With a warm, winning mix of self-deprecation and praise for family, friends and colleagues... Sir Roger emerges as a figure every bit as dashing, but rather better-natured, than any he's played onscreen'--Empire Magazine, December issue 2008

Like his good friend David Niven, he has managed to produce an amusing and racy memoir... Moore's wit and self-deprecation are evident on every page'--The Stage, 6 November 2008.

It's a lovely, ambling read'--The Times, 6 December 2008

'funny, frank and charming'--The Lady, 16 December 2008.

Book Description:

My Word is My Bond is as frank, funny and disarmingly charming as Roger Moore himself.
