This Is Not a Book About Benedict Cumberbatch

The general take

Emily Falk describes it as a book that's ostensibly about Benedict Cumberbatch but is really about joy and what we value, written by Australian author Tabitha Carvan who clearly adores the actor. She presents it positively as something that explores genuine enthusiasm and admiration.

  “My friend Rebecca gave me a book called This Is Not a Book About Benedict Cumberbatch, in which an Australian author, Tabitha Carvan, spends a few hundred pages talking about how amazing Benedict Cumberbatch is. She thinks he's incredibly attractive, she just is completely enamored of Benedict Cumberbatch. And after reading this book, which is really a book about joy and about what we value and about how we spend our time, I loved the book.”
