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.

He’s always known his mother to be as efficient and serious as a chemist (which she happens to be), always in gray, eyebrow cocked, and handling challenges with grace. To mix things up, Andrew develops an elaborate itinerary of planned chaos.

Excellent
I read so many bad reviews I almost didn't read this book- so glad I did. I absolutely love Stephen Fry's command of English. Listening to this felt like having a chat with him, quite intimate.

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.

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.

A lovely listen
It's great listening to Stephen Fry narrating his own work - I loved his insight into his own life.
The only disappointment for me was his reliance on diary excerpts towards the end. It was interesting having a view into his life in 1993 but I would have preferred more current commentary and analysis of what happened.

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

another gorgeously written book by Fry
One of the kindest, sweetest, most ethical, gentle and fascinating human beings on the planet talking more about his life. A wordsmith it is a pleasure to listen to, even as you cringe at his self loathing. Stephen Fry, you are a legend and we love you xx
