Narration To Books The Fry Chronicles (Memoir #2)

This was a quick read as I love Stephen Fry and have been curious about his career. His writing is lyrical, captivating and a linguistic joy to read, he has a seemingly effortless ability to conjure whirling syntax and employ endless alliterations and double rhyme scheme. The downfalls of this work were an inexcusable amount of repetition, self deprecation to the point of farce and mindless name dropping which did tend to disconnect the reader. It also would have served well to be much shorter. And yet, I loved his masterful use of language, his honest insights into his own struggles and misgivings and the British mischievousness and turn of phrase many have come to love him for. I liked this book - I just wanted to like it much more.

Piece Appertaining To Books The Fry Chronicles (Memoir #2)

I understand that this is the second biographical account of Mr Fry. Moab is my Washpot covered the first 20 years of his life and published in 1997. while I can understand the logic of producing a 'developing years' biography, then penning the rest later on I'm not sure why Fry has to go all The Hobbit on us with his life's tale.Frustrations with the conclusion of this piece aside - what is it actually like?Well to be perfectly honest, I'm not sure.The book starts with an apology for being

For me there are various Stephen Frys. The Fry of Blackadder, the Fry of Stephen Fry in America and the Fry of QI. This book seemed very much written by the Fry of QI, diffident, knowledgeable, charming - and at times a tad outrageous. This is my favourite Fry, so I was fine with that.His original thinking and love of language fill the book with finesse and wonderfully unpredictable perspectives. His love of words rather less so. There are a few cascades and pools of words where you just have to

The Fry Chronicles (2010) is the second of Stephen Frys autobiographies being preceded by Moab is my Washpot (1997) and succeeded by More Fool Me: A Memoir (2014) neither of which I have read; similarly I have not yet embarked on any of Frys novels. Starting this autobiography, I was aware of the commercial success and critical acclaim heaped upon both Frys autobiographies as well as his works of fiction.Fry Chronicles charts Frys progress over a seven year period leading up to his arrival at

STEPHEN Fry is that person I manage to always see on TV or making an appearance in a movie. I never quite knew what it was about him that made him so likeable but there was definitely something there. I was on holiday with my family and had 'absolutely nothing' to read. A trip to the bookstore later and The Fry Chronicles was mine.I didnt realise until well after finishing the book that there was one before it called Moab is my Washpot. Fortunately for me (and for any reader) this books stands

The Fry - Laurie friendship is the bromance I didn't know I needed...I'm embracing Stephen Fry as a way of life from now on.SO HONEST AND GOOD AND FUNNY! I can't even...Please, knight him already.

I was all set to LOVE this book, and then it ends right before he takes his first hit of cocaine -- just stops. I guess he felt the book was long enough, or it would take 2 or 3 times its length to get into his drug abuse (after all the time he devoted to sugar), or he didn't want to go into it all.....but God, it ends so unceremoniously. That's really disappointing.That said, the book is pretty amazing -- everyone told me it's not as good as Moab is My Washpot, and no, it's not, but there are

If there is ever someone who can make me "swoon" by reading the phone book, it's Stephen Fry. Because when he does, you are damn well getting a show. And that's about the main reason for the high rating of this book. Had I tried to read this book, as opposed to listening to it, there's a high possibility I would've dropped it half-way through. As terrible as it may sound, I was dreadfully bored throughout most of the experience. Luckily for the author, his reading/acting voice makes everything
