Hello, Darling, Are You Working?

by Rupert Everett

Book Overview

British actor Rupert Everett charmed his way into moviegoers' affections with his scene-stealing performance in My Best Friend's Wedding.

You won't put it down!

Being a fan of the author's films when I saw he'd written a book I figured I'd give it a read. Well, to my surprise it was very well written and very hard to put down. A must have for a fan of Rupert Everett!

My Favourite Book ever!!

This is my absolutely favourite book ever and I've read it a million times and plan to read it again. It's hugely entertaining and hilarious and it's so true to life (although my life is, thank God, never that chaotic all at once!). It's a must-read for anyone with a good sense of humour and the absurd!

My God!

A definate must read for anyone who appriciates healthy doses of twisted humor. Quite witty. I can see this book as a movie....

The publisher should reissue this!

I got lucky and found this book in a local bookstore. I bought it mainly because I was intrigued to discover it was Rupert Everett who wrote this book, and I wanted to see what an actor could do in the world of writing. It's not Christian McLaughlin or Doug Guinan, but "Hellow Darling" is enjoyable, and it provides a snappy insight into a world in which rich people aren't quite as secure as the rest of us think they are.

It's like AbFab...in print

The copy I have was loaned to me by a friend and I refuse to give it back! I've re-read it at least eleven times. It's the kind of book you'd want to keep around for when you're feeling just icky for no reason. Give yourself a couple of hours to read it and you'll feel better (it's pleasant enough as it is)...or worse (you'll hurt from laughing too much - when you realize how likely the events of the story can really happen - in a less grander scale, of course).Well worth the read - witty, charming, and most of all, absolutely hilarious!
