A hugely enjoyable autobiography, in Fry's inimitable style. Starts off with his schooldays and progresses through his troublesome teens, involving difficulties with his homosexuality, with (somebody else's) credit cards and with the police, and the spell in gaol during which Fry realized he had to change his life. (Although, it seems from the book, he would probably have done this even without the encouragement of custody).
The book was an easy read, enjoyably wandering off topic from time to time then suddenly being wrenched back on-course. A very honest book.
Doreen agreed, and said the reader couldn't help but like Fry.
Recommended by all who had read it.

Jean thought this was a waste of time, self indulgent, and rambling. Not very impressed.
