More Fool Me
More Fool Me: A Memoir | Stephen Fry
4 posts | 12 read | 18 to read
By his early thirties, Stephen Frywriter, comedian, star of stage and screenhad, as they say, made it.? Much loved on British television, author of a critically acclaimed and bestselling first novel, with a glamorous and glittering cast of friends, he had more work than was perhaps good for him. As the 80s drew to a close, he began to burn the candle at both ends. Writing and recording by day, and haunting a neverending series of celebrity parties, drinking dens, and poker games by night, he was a high functioning addict. He was so busy, so distracted by the high life, that he could hardly see the inevitable, headlong tumble that must surely follow . . . Filled with raw, electric extracts from his diaries of the time, More Fool Me is a brilliant, eloquent account by a man driven to create and to entertainrevealing a side to him he has long kept hidden.

Oh, Stephen. I love your work so much, but this book was such a letdown. Yes, there were the usual amusing stories about all the fabulous people he knows in show business, but he also spent far too long focusing on his cocaine addiction, but never explaining what was that led him to stop. He can do much better, and he has.

Oh Stephen, oh Stephen. I was set to give you a 4 star rating for this, and then you filled the last quarter with diary entries from 1993. The first month was interesting but then it just became the same thing over and over. Wake, work, dinner, drink, coke, sleep. It felt like a who's who of people with hyphenated names I'd never heard of. I will still rate this a pick, but only just.

LauraBrook Is this the 2nd or 3rd in his memoir series? I can never remember and the covers are too similar. 7y
