The Fry Chronicles

An Autobiography

De: Stephen Fry

Narrado por: Stephen Fry

Thirteen years ago, Moab Is My Washpot, Stephen Fry’s autobiography of his early years, was published to rave reviews and was a huge best seller. In the years since, Stephen Fry has moved into a completely new stratosphere, both as a public figure, and a private man. Now he is not just a multi-award-winning comedian and actor, but also an author, director, and presenter.

In January 2010 he was awarded the Special Recognition Award at the National Television Awards. Much loved by the public and his peers, Stephen Fry is one of the most influential cultural forces in the country. This dazzling memoir promises to be a courageously frank, honest and poignant read. It will detail some of the most turbulent and least-well-known years of his life, with writing that will excite you, make you laugh uproariously, move you, inform you, and, above all, surprise you.

Stephen Fry carries you away

This is a thoroughly enjoyable listen. No wonder the book has topped the best seller lists here in Australia. I think that Stephen Fry could read a shopping list and still have my undivided attention. I listened in 40 minute chunks and I think that digesting in larger portions could lessen the enjoyment.

The A to Z of Stephen Fry

Stephen Fry chronicles his life in an A to Z list, talking about his rise to fame, time at university and any other topic you can name. Sometimes he can get a little "name droppy" but that's his life! A good, fun listen!

Great story by and of an intriguing man

An interesting story to get into which seemed to get better and better. Mister Fry has a way with words which is admirable and very much enjoyable. The performance was terrific. It's hard to explain how much I learned, thought and enjoyed the whole thing but I found myself listening more and more often and could stop. My only complaint would be an, in my view, somewhat abrupt end. In a way it feels like a part 1 of ... perhaps.

Exceptional and enjoyable

The quality of his writing is fantastic and he performs it so well. Very engaging and the story clips along nicely.

Rich language

As non-native English speaker I love how rich, colourful and diverse the language is.
