Review: My Word is My Bond by Roger MooreThis endearing memoir shows why he remains many people's favourite James Bond, writes Alex Larman
  
  


Mocked by some as the most lightweight actor to play 007, Roger Moore was always aware of his limitations as a film star, and this endearing memoir shows why he remains many people's favourite James Bond. Looking back over his largely happy life as a small- and big-screen star, Moore's anecdotal and good-natured memoir will disappoint those looking for scurrilous gossip or insight into his profession. Instead, barring the odd priapic aside, Moore's recollections of his work, including his later incarnation as a Unicef ambassador, are as old-fashioned and harmlessly entertaining as his friend David Niven's The Moon's a Balloon. It seems unlikely that Daniel Craig's autobiography would be this uncomplicated.
