Review of Flying Solo:Tales of a Bounty Hunter by Jeremy Bulloch

I've finished reading Flying Solo:Tales of a Bounty Hunter by Jeremy Bulloch.

Short Review
I enjoyed it.

Long(er) Review
Flying Solo is Jeremy Bulloch's autobiography. The book intertwines stories of Jeremy's past with his hectic convention going life of post 1997.

The convention stories are often very funny, and Star Wars fans will probably be impressed by how much Jeremy cares about the whole experience. There's some great anecdotes, my imagination is still struggling to erase the image of Jeremy, Kenny Baker and Peter Mayhew walking together through an airport. He also reveals how he got the part of Boba Fett and what the filming was like.

What surprised me however was how interesting his pre-StarWars life is. Jeremy has been a jobbing actor for years, which means he has been in all sorts of things, with all sorts of people, in all sorts of places. For instance he has been in Doctor Who and Robin of Sherwood. Although after reading I would recommend any taking up acting as a career it does some provide some nice stories.

So although the first thought would be to buy this book for the Star Wars geek in your life, it will undoubtedly have a far greater appeal.
