    "Fascinating"

    Not your average autobiography. Stephen Fry is a brilliant narrator, easily able to hold your interest. Not only does he give us an insight into a childhood that is distinctly different from most people's but he gives us a deep insight into his own viewpoint of his life, the decisions he made, and events as they unfold.

    "VERY honest"

    Stephen's 1st 20 years, lots of insights and funny moments amongst the angst and tortured growth of a teenage Fry. Great to hear from the man himself.

    Glorious insight into the dark corners of the fascinating mind of Stephen Fry. Frank,funny and sometimes melancholy. Highly entertaining as one would expect. He can do no wrong.

    "Brilliant"

    Having listened to the chronicles I immediately purchased this first book to listen to. Brilliantly told by Stephen, this book recounts his younger days in a completely honest way, swear words and all! Its very raw and bitterly truthful. You really start to understand this complex young man.
