Not My Father's Son

Alan reads the audio himself, so listen if you're going to read it. I didn't know much about him other than that I enjoy him in films, so I had no expectations going in. He truly has a heartbreaking childhood story and he shares it with with, wisdom, and great reflection. I'd like to find and watch the episode about his grandfather after reading this. If you like memoirs or family stories, definitely listen.

I really enjoyed this memoir despite some dark themes (trigger warning: children physical and emotional abuse). I've always loved Alan Cumming's performances and so, I was intrigued by this book. I'm glad I picked it up. It's mostly about family, honesty, love and healing. I recommend listening to the audiobook!
