Above all Lithgow’s memoir is a tribute to his most important influence: his father, Arthur Lithgow, who, as an actor, director, producer, and great lover of Shakespeare, brought theater to John’s boyhood. From bedtime stories to Arthur’s illustrious productions, performance and storytelling were constant and cherished parts of family life.

"At least you got a nice boat out of the deal," said President Trump to hurricane victims.

One of Jane Austen’s most beloved works, Pride and Prejudice, is vividly brought to life by Academy Award nominee Rosamund Pike ( Gone Girl). In her bright and energetic performance of this British classic, she expertly captures Austen’s signature wit and tone. Her attention to detail, her literary background, and her performance in the 2005 feature film version of the novel provide the perfect foundation from which to convey the story of Elizabeth Bennet, her four sisters, and the inimitable Mr. Darcy.

Mildly amusing
This was a mildly amusing take on the Trump administration written in verse with lots of cheesy sound effects. It repeats a lot of mainstream media criticisms, but while I am no fan of Trump, I'm not sure that all of the allegations made in the mainstream press are fair or accurate. I like John Lithgow's reading voice and his way with words. I enjoy hearing him poke fun at politicians and White House staffers.

Funny, irreverent and ingenious
A collection of amusing verses about absurdity of Trump’s reign in the White House, narrated by the author and accompanied by his illustrations. Apart from the expected limericks there are clever pastiches and appropriate music and surprising sound effects plus brief explanations of the subject matter, for anyone who hasn’t been paying attention or is confused by the rollercoaster events of this presidency.
Although it’s a short book, it’s well worth a credit.
I don’t know if the USA has a Poet Laureate, but if it does, the writer will have to wait for Trump’s departure to be honoured!
