Stephen Fry is one of the great originals- This autobiography of his first twenty years is a pleasure to read, mixing outrageous acts with sensible opinions in bewildering confusion- That so much outward charm, self-awareness and intellect should exist alongside behaviour that threatened to ruin the lives of innocent victims, noble parents and Fry himself, gives the book a tragic grandeur and lifts it to classic status.' Financial Times'A remarkable, perhaps even unique, exercise in autobiography- that aroma of authenticity that is the point of all great autobiographies; of which this, I rather think, is one' Evening Standard'He writes superbly about his family, about his homosexuality, about the agonies of childhood- some of his bursts of simile take the breath away- his most satisfying and appealing book so far' Observer
