Depardieu would have extended the title of his book with "and I said it!" would not have been shocking and inconsistent! Little book of 175 pages is a comprehensive and concise explanation of the choice of this actor. So if you are fiercely anti-Depardieu keep your money but if you are open minded and willing to at least hear the arguments of this actor purchase this nice little book to read. Obviously we must not fall into the simple version of Cosette morderne and more an actor who had played the role of Jean Valjean, however, "Things entail things, the widget creates biduley no chance" in the words of Jean Gabin Jean-Paul Belmondo in "A monkey in winter", the film dHenri Verneuil. So, turning to the childhood and youth of this actor it is certain that it is easier to understand the excesses and excesses of this actor even if these are not validated! Read for pleasure.
