Eddie Izzard

If there was a new project to tackle with Izzard's charisma, wit, and persistence, it's writing more. Although I am glad to have learned his inspiring story, the content reads kind of sophomoric and boring because he lists a lot of information instead of diving deeper into self analysis. Also it could have used more humor.

That being said, I would love to read a book of witty essays by him in the future.

I freaking loved this!!!

If you pick this up, do NOT read it without the audiobook!!! It is read by the author, and her asides and rambling footnotes are everything.

Four words:

Live Impromptu Audio Footnotes

I strongly recommend also listening to the audiobook of this book, as Izzard adds so many extra footnotes and explanations that there is a whole additional layer of insight provided in the audiobook that is not included in the print version.
