I can't finish this. I HATE not finishing a book, and usually it's because I seriously dislike the book, but this...was just BORING BEYOND BELIEF. I actually feel cheated, because it had all the ingredients to be something really funny and interesting, and it's about one of my favourite things in all the world (West End Theatre), and yet the author chose to tell really random anecdotes that had no bearing on anything, or stories that started out like they could be interesting, but which she just then abandoned. Like there's one bit about how it was really windy one day on her way into the office, and she had to crawl along the bridge so she wouldn't get blown over. And then...nothing. It has no bearing on anything that happens next, it's not a catalyst for a funny story about how she had to go meet an important actor looking like she'd been in a tornado...just...nothing. This book seriously needed an editor to cut this sort of extraneous filler - except that the entire book reads like extraneous filler.
