Advantages: First time his life has ever been told! Disadvantages: Emotional and upsetting in parts.
...of this book is called My Word is My Bond, and I think that the title is spot on for the person we are reading about. When it was announced the book was to be written I was extremely curious as to how Moore would approach the telling of his life.
