I liked this, but it definitely wasn't as good as I expected it to be. Eddie Izzard doesn't really seem to have a single purpose with this memoir and it shows. He sort of rambles all over the place and covers a lot of unrelated topics, from his mother's death and his time at boarding school to running 27 marathons in 27 days to a step by step guide in how he became a comedian. I really enjoyed learning some of the sections, but others bored me.

Overall, I'm glad I listened to this book. I'd recommend the audiobook version to fans of Eddie Izzard, partially because it's just of course going to be better with him reading it, but also because there's a lot of unedited sections and I felt like those were almost the best parts of the book, when he was just free to go off on tangents.
