lokster71's review against another edition
3.0
This is an OK book telling the story of the friendship and carer of Fry & Laurie. It never really gets beyond a simple narrative of their career, which is fine. And actually, there's not a lot in here you wouldn't already know if you'd followed their career and seen them interviewed. Or read any of Fry's autobiographies. (Is it three volumes now or four?)
It's well enough written though and if you want a one-stop-shop guide to Fry & Laurie. You can then go off and get into deeper waters elsewhere. And I do think what does come out of this book is how much I think they genuinely love each other but it just feels a little superficial.
