To the End of the World: Travels with Oscar Wilde Customer Reviews
:- 4.0 out of 5 stars from Sascot -- Good old Rupert : Rupert Everett is a one off. Candid, in yer face and determined yet also remarkably self effacing about his failures. His trials and tribulations of making this film about Oscar Wilde are enough to bring anyone to their knees (a position the author may enjoy....) and the project very nearly did break him. As a book, he writes openly about everyone because he is a great observer of humankind, despite dark days, his humour never left him. As a respite to the trials of current lives under Covid, read this. It will both help put things into perspective for you, make you laugh and cry.

- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Amazon Customer -- Always entertaing: Rupert : I have been incredibly well entertained by Rupert since his first movie. ( Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2020 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Jax1960 -- Wonderful Book : I love Rupert Everett's first two books (Red Carpets and Other Banana Skins & Vanished Years). ( Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2021 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Aanel Victoria -- A great read, just like Rupert's previous two memoirs : Rupert's new memoir is a great read, just like his previous two memoirs. This one, like the others, covers a lot, and also includes a number of meaningful and eventful flashbacks. ( Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2021 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from dianaskylark -- St;aggering price: I'll buy it when they put it in the reasonable range or on Audible : Witty, perceptive - read excerpts, but the price is beyond the pale. Must be patient. If Amazon reduces price (by now they know it won't sell at this price) I know several people who'd like to buy it, includimg book clubs. $=mistake.

- 4.0 out of 5 stars from Jonathan Fryer -- Engaging Confessions of a Wildean Making a Film about His Hero's Decline : About three years ago I was contacted by the young actor, Edwin Thomas, who was playing the character of Robbie Ross in Rupert Everett’s imaginative biopic of Oscar Wilde, The Happy Prince. He was holed up in a hotel on location somewhere on the Continent and had just read my biography of Robbie. Could I give him any advice? Unfortunately some of the film was already in the can so it was too late to take on board my point that Robbie spoke with a marked Canadian accent all his life. But I hope some of my other remarks were of use. Everett, while naming the film from one of Wilde’s best-loved children’s stories actually tilted the movie in the direction of arguing that Robbie was Oscar’s true love, not Bosie — as my own book suggests. I loved The Happy Prince when it came out, mainly because Everett (as Wilde) really externalised the playwright’s inner turmoil, one might even say putrefaction. But the film was a bit of a damp squib commercially, not receiving the critical attention it deserved and failing to pull in the crowds before quickly entering that purgatory of non-hits. However, it was a joy to read the whole story of the film’s creation — from initial idea through numerous setbacks and budgetary problems before its final realisation. This is in Rupert Everett’s new book, the third of Everett’s autobiographical tomes and, to my mind, by far the most successful and engaging. Earlier volumes rather grated with their endless trumpeting of the author’s low-level criminality and sluttishness; there is much less of that here and the highs and lows of the creative process give the book an engrossing narrative arc. For anyone interested in film-making this book is worth reading, and for fans of Oscar Wilde, it is a must-have. At one point, Everett as director is encouraged to make some cuts because someone comments that Oscar comes across as rather disagreeable. But of course a crucial point about Wilde is that one loves and admires him, despite his glaring faults. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 25, 2020 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Amazon Customer -- Wonderful read. : A tour de force. Mr Everett is a brilliant writer. My only regret is that I read it so quickly. It reads like a thriller. Despite having seen the film and loved it I kept feeling that on every page the 'plug was going to be pulled'. Thank you Rupert. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 12, 2020 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Selwyn Roberts -- The struggle to realise an honourable obsession in an often dishonourable film world. : I really enjoyed this book , and can sympathise with Rupert Everett's need to realise his dream of making a film about the last days of Oscar Wilde. The struggles over the years to finance and make the film is illuminating, heartbreaking and finally uplifting, but not an easy experience at all. Although this, along with Rupert's reflections on his at times dwindling career is the core of the book, the real joy to me is the many observations and insights into the places he visits, all beautifully described, and the very colourful array of people that he encounters, which in turn gives us more fascinating information as he travels with at times the ghost of Oscar Wilde. Well worth reading as is seeing the very excellent film 'The Happy Prince' in which Mr. Everett excels. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 19, 2020 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from WoodWild -- OSCAR'S GHOST : I should hate Rupert, a talented actor that can really write, not just tell a story but a genuinely rewarding reading experience. Witty sharp and gossipy is what you expect from Rupert, and you get it, but the writing is sublime and the honesty both touching and breathtaking, a very fine piece of writing in a genre that can be obvious and flabby... This is not. Rich with observations that are both dagger sharp and reflective, as well a# bein* loaded with pathos (but not sentimental) Rupert delivers a masterclass in memoir that should alstroemerias be required reading for wannabe film makers and all actors. Well dear deary. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 16, 2020 )
- 4.0 out of 5 stars from Shoelace -- Wildean Everett : I actively want to dislike Everett - over-privileged posh boy etc. A friend recommended his first volume of memoir and I was taken aback at how well he writes. He is incisive, poignant and has led a truly extraordinary (and I mean that in the true meaning of the word) life. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 18, 2020 )
