Although Mr Loiri has had a long and well recognised career on stage, TV, film and in music, and there are certainly a lot of stories and little anecdotes to tell, I think that the writer Tervo simply doesn't know how to focus on the essentials. He's off at the tangent all the time and the reader needs to verify whether it's still the same book and not someone else's biography. This book is way too long and probably half of it could have been thrown away as it's simply irrelevant, not related to Mr Loiri at all, or simply just adding too many details that the reader can find out themselves if they wish to do so.
Anyway, there probably aren't many people in Finland who wouldn't know who Vesa-Matti Loiri is. I grew up in the 1980s, meaning I had a very high amount of exposure to Uuno Turhapuro, the second incarnation of Spede Show and numerous other productions where Mr Loiri played a major role. He is an insanely good actor and a very good musician too. I especially like his versions of the poetry of Eino Leino. I learned new things about him and his career, and I would be happy to see those 1980s classics again.
