Critics Review
I do more than invite you to read Stephen Fry. I urge you to. Fry is by turns observer, humourist, reviewer, philosopher, parodist, autobiographer, academic, scourge, clown and, as often as not, an antic amalgam of all these and more, and his variant style conforms flawlessly with each selected role.
Huge, crammed, wise, hilarious and utterly captivating * Literary Review *
A joyous collaboration of winging humour and sarcasm * Mail on Sunday *
Naughty but terribly nice * Sunday Times *
Appallingly funny * Daily Telegraph *
