Customer Rating:
Summary: Incredibly Honest
Comment: He takes the autobiography genre and makes it his own entirely. One of the newspaper quotes on the back says that he is one of the great originals - and this book shows that in it's content as much as the way that it's written.
The research, the physical, and mostly emotional effort and the amount of himself that he has poured into it is incredible.
Beyond the phenomenal honesty and integrity of his writing, the insight to his incredible life and unsurpassed brain is brilliant. Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time has "We journey into Hawking's universe, while marveling at his mind" on the front. I agreed with that at the time - this book and author deserve the title more.
In negative news it is rushed at the end - very much so in fact. Part of me doesn't want to doubt this, since it's a long book already and I want to believe that there is good reason for cutting it short, but in reality hearing more about his depression and jail time would have been good. Perhaps he just couldn't bring himself to write it, who knows.

Summary: WOW! deary deary dear!
Comment: I have read many books from The Odyssey by Homer to Animal Farm by George Orwell and this, this is my favourite book of all time!
Genius, Genius, Genius!
At times intensly funny and at times almost unbearably sad.
All I can say is you need to beg, borrow or steal and get this book. It's just brilliant.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Brilliant
Comment: Like many of the other reviewers, I found I couldn't put this book down. True some of the language gets a bit complicated in places but Fry's amazing narrative style is so addictive that the few stumbling parts are easily forgiven. It's brilliantly funny, heart-breakingly sad and refreshingly honest, after reading it I would challenge anyone not to feel even slightly moved. Personally I felt a whole rainbow of emotions and I am so glad I read it. I would recommend this to anyone.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: FUNNY-SAD
Comment: We love Stephen Fry, and this book was entertainingly written as you'd expect. However, there were elements of sadness too and some of our members found this jarred with the humourous parts. But overall we liked this book!
