review 1: This wasn't as good as his first volumes of his autobiography, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I am a big fan, and found the sections that consisted entirely of his diary gave a fascinating insight into his life, thoughts, and insecurities. A little too much name-dropping - not being from the UK this meant that some tales were lost on me - but that said I did enjoy recognising names and picturing them all together. I've been struggling to find my reading mojo for some time and this kept me interested, hence the four stars.
review 2: I am a fan of Stephen Fry and loved his two previous autobiographies "MOAB Is My Washpot" and "Fry Chronicles". This third installment, however, somewhat pales in comparison to the other two. I also read the predominantly unfavorable ... morereviews of this book prior to getting it. It is best to purchase the audio book instead of the print book so you can quickly skip out the bad bits i.e. tedious diary entries.Over all, there is still the trademark Fry wit in intermittent parts of the book and entertaining anecdotes such as Princess Diana visit. He does have regretfully a tendency to ramble, but in the audio book it is tolerable. His marvelously mellifluous baritone voice makes it somewhat worthwhile and delightful. Suggest listen to it while doing extremely mundane activities such as working out or doing household chores. less
