A review by matttruss
Believe Me: A Memoir of Love, Death, and Jazz Chickens by Eddie Izzard

funny informative medium-paced

4.5

An absolute delight of an audiobook.  Honestly, don't even bother buying the dead tree edition, there is so much more to be heard in the audiobook and Izzard's reading and long, rambling, extra footnotes make it almost twice the book.  Izzard's style is like a friend telling you a story and I loved the whole thing.  Much like their stand-up, it's very conversational.  Learning about Izzard's early life, breaking into the industry, their extreme feats of athletics, and their philosophy on life, the universe, and the flying turkey sandwich in the sky was so great.  I bookmarked several passages to listen to again and again.
