Jonathan's review
Moab Is My Washpot by Stephen Fry
It's charmingly written and everything, but - and I hate to say it - Fry had a really boring childhood. The story becomes much more interesting at young adult Fry's arrest for credit card fraud and shoplifting, which is unfortunately where the book ends.
Given his struggles to get into Cambridge, his friendships with fellow comedians and actors developed at college and his time spent writing and performing alternative comedy on British television AND portraying a pivotal literary character in the Jeeves and Wooster series, I was hoping for a lot more out of this autobiography.
