Industry Reviews "There were times, while reading 'Loitering With Intent: The Apprentice,' when I though that I was being escorted by James Joyce on one side and Dylan Thomas on the other during a pub crawl of London and being met in the private lounges by Mr. Mulliner, P. G. Wodehouse's presider-over of all social gatherings in pubs....If you are thinking of the stage as a career, read this book. If you are not interested in going on stage but are curious about how it is done, read this book. If you are adventurous at all, read this book. It is grand to get to know Peter O'Toole the boy, the man, the poet, the actor, the friend. Bring on the next tumultuous act." New York Times Book Review - Malachy McCourt (02/23/1997)
