There and Back again-Sean Astin

[Elanor]

I was just wondering if anybody had read the book that Sean Astin wrote, "There and Back again: An Actors Tale" and what they thought of it?

I'm reading it right now, I think I am on chapter seven.
And so far it has been really good!!

[Elanor]

Yes, I read it already. It's a very interesting read actually. It does actually give more insight into Sean's personality rather than the making of the movie, although that's gone into really well as well. He strikes me as an extraordinary man, I wish he would ease up on himself though. He is quite the perfectionist and I rather got the feeling he's a bit depressed-inclined. But an essential reading if you like "behind the scenes" stuff.

I would love to read it, but I live in a small place where there is not any book shops. But next time I go to the big town, I will have a look for it. sounds like a realy good read . x

he did come off as a bit whiny at times and ungrateful. he got to experience something alot of us would have killed to be a part of and it frustrated me at times. but otherwise it was well written and informative. it made me like sean more because i didn't see a celebrity...he's normal!!

[Elanor]

yes exactly, it really does convey that he's an ordinary person like you and me and he's aware of his shortcomings and faults and tries to keep them in mind when he's interacting with other people
