Editorial reviews
Praise for The Fry Chronicles:
"Heartbreaking, a delight, a lovely, comfy book". (The Times)"Perfect prose and excruciating honesty. A grand reminiscence of college and theatre and comedyland in the 1980s, with tone-perfect anecdotes and genuine readerly excitement. What Fry does, essentially, is tell us who he really is. Above all else, a thoughtful book. And namedroppy too, and funny, and marbled with melancholy." (Observer)
Publisher's summary
Following on from his hugely successful books, Moab Is My Washpot and The Fry Chronicles, comes the third chapter in Stephen Fry's life. This unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of More Fool Me is performed by Stephen Fry himself.

Story
A disturbing tale of a young man's uncanny ability to remain both young and beautiful while descending into a life of heartless debauchery, The Picture of Dorian Gray was considered proof of both Wilde's genius and his perversion. Oscar Wilde's scandalous best seller of 1891 was one of the most damning pieces of evidence used against him in the trial that brought about his downfall.

Story
Emery Thompson hates Calvin Chamberlain. From the way he acts like he’s better than everyone to the way he moves through the world thinking his podcast is the cream of the crop, every little thing about the man gets to him. Even that dashing, oh-so-confident smile. He’d rather be caught dead than be around the man any longer than necessary—or admit that last part out loud.

And more fool me for buying it.
I'm a fan of Stephen Fry and really enjoyed the first two volumes of his autobiography but this was a huge disappointment. He phoned it in. The majority of the book is spent bringing us up to date - OK, I understand the need to go over old ground - and reading from the diary he kept as he rushed madly around London snorting coke and hanging out with nearly every name he could possibly drop (not those he was sharing his coke with of course, that would be beyond the pale). This book doesn't advance us very far through his life and although he obviously had a serious drug habit we don't get the sense of how this was affecting his everyday life. The diary entries don't cut it. Pardon the pun.

Probably not worth it if you've read the others
What did you like best about More Fool Me? What did you like least?
Stephen Fry's performance is good, but the book seems slightly rushed and contains lots of 'filler'.
The book is almost split in to varying thirds:
- First third: Going over details and stories from the previous 2 books.
- Second third: Some new info and anecdotes (although a lot of them I'd already heard on various tv shows and during promotional stuff for the book).
- Final third: Just reading from his diary. No newly written content. While some of the stories were interesting, I'm not too bothered about what SF had for breakfast/lunch/dinner/drinks and when he went to bed on any given day.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
More anecdotes and original writing. Less goign over old stuff and just reading from old diaries.
What about Stephen Fry’s performance did you like?
Excellent, as always.
Do you think More Fool Me needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
Yes, but not yet, and in a format more similar to the first two books.

So pompous
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
It's endless footnote, after footnote. There's an awful lot of fluff in this book and only two really good stories about Hirst and Diana. The rest is totally forgettable.
I am returning this audio book.
Would you ever listen to anything by Stephen Fry again?
No
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Stephen Fry?
No one. The story is boring.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disappointment
Any additional comments?
Footnote, this book is long and dreary. End of footnote. Goodbye.

Disappointing
I enjoyed Fry’s previous autobiographies which is why I bought this one. I was disappointed with More Fool Me - it lacks the deep personal and often intellectual insights and entertaining value of the previous books. I found the third one uninteresting and trivial, with little depth of thought and insight into his life and the world around him.

Outstanding Memoir
The diary format of this memoir had me gripped from the start and every day throughout.
What an incredible part of this great person’s life! I loved it. Stephen Fry narrates beautifully.

Just skip the diary part
I read two last parts of Stephen Fry's autobiography, and I can't say that the beginning of this one is a repeating of Moab Is My Washpot or The Fry Chronicles. It is more like a view from the other side; it adds a new angle to the story.
What followed next made me laugh and sigh and feel emotionally involved in every way: it is everything that people love in Stephen Fry's books. The narrator is heartbreakingly sincere. The plot is filled with unexpected turns and combines both the lowest and the highest, descriptions of taking cocaine (very enlightening, by the way, for a non-addict) and meeting with the Prince of Wales.
And then the diary part starts. The excerpts of the actual diary of Fry take from 1/3 to 1/2 of the book (the last part), they seem OK in the beginning, but then you become more and more bored. It is not easy to explain why: the average day is far more than most of us experience. It is filled with events, dinners, clubs, high-society meetings, but it is just boring. It lacks internal thoughts and feelings that we value in diaries, and it is more like a plain description of events.
All in all, highly recommended, but be prepared for listening to (or skipping) somewhat tedious diary entries in the end.

Good start but poor end
I very much enjoy Stephen Fry's books, but only enjoyed the first 2/3 of this one. The remainder is a very long and repetitious diary extract when could have been wrapped up in a few pages. Too much illustration of why the book is so tiitled
