I don't remember who suggested this book to me, but I'm glad they did! Getting its title from one of the enclosed vignettes, You Gotta Get Bigger Dreams is an interesting glimpse into the life of Alan Cumming who is remarkably charming, while being completely self-aware about how absurd his life is sometimes as a celebrity. Telling the stories behind some of his personal photos (or sometimes just sharing the photo to share it) is much more entertaining than I expected, particularly because the photos are generally not of the "everyone-put-your-arms-around-each-other-and-smile" variety; rather they are photos of body parts, everyday scenes, and all out party photos. I read this book on the Kindle, so the photos were black & white to me which made many of them more interesting (in my opinion). I have since downloaded the book onto the kindle app so I could see the photos in color- a very different, but still enjoyable experience!
Overall, this book is a lot of fun- great while you're on a plane or sitting outside with a glass of wine & you don't want to think too hard. You won't learn anything but you will be endlessly entertained.
