 ... is read by the author, another plus, because he does have a lovely reading voice, very paced and expressive, and comedic / dramatic where appropriate. And who better to read the book than the author, especially when the book in question is an autobiography? I don't want to spoil Moab is My Washpot for you, however on the whole I didn't really enjoy it, there are a few reasons for this, firstly Fry can be awfully concescending at times - he really doesn't need to over - explain literary, historical and cultural analog...more

Moab is My Washpot (Audio CD): Disappointing (588 words)

I am generally a fan of Stephen Fry, I find him witty, intelligent, and quite charming. I loved his work of a few years ago 'secret life of the manic depressive', and I enjoy his presenting style in general. So I was quite pleased to get Moab is My Washpot, his autobiography of birth to around University age (it does not cover his later years, fame and so forth) in audio book form, on CD to listen to in the car primarily. The CD cover is much the same of the book - a bright red cover, a chalked on sort of white font, and a big walrus!

For the biblically disinclined let's begin with an explanation for the title of Stephen Fry's audiobook. The citizens of Moab were a motley crew. Check out psalm 60:8 of the Old Testament for the tale of their filth and ungodly behaviour. The people of Moab were the enemies of Israel and therefore enemies of God. Eventually they were sorted out but they were considered as lowly as the pots that people washed their feet in. They were to be viewed with contempt until they changed their wicked and insolent behaviour. Skip ahead many centuries later and enter upon the human race - Stephen Fry. This man, with his great command of the English language, wonderful actoing ...  Read the complete review

Moab Is My Washpot: by Stephen Fry Review by Floatingclouds --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- I'm going to structure this review slightly differently to my previous contenders. This write up is based on the book ‘Moab Is My Washpot’ by Stephen Fry. My only knowledge about Stephen Fry before reading the book, were his regular appearances on television shows and his documentary about bipolar last year. So let’s get on with the review - enjoy the ride oops read! [Day 1] So I've decided to take Stephen Fry to bed with for the next few nights. I'm not sure how long this will last. It will probably ...  Read the complete review
