I LOVE Eddie Izzard's comedy and humor. I've enjoyed him in many of the acting roles that he's done. I utterly respect the charitable work he's done. This book, however, was a wee bit of a slog to get through. Perhaps it's because I already know so many things about his life since I've been a fan for so long? Or else I'm just in a crabby mood...you never now. Bottom line, though, is that as a fan, I really felt that this book belonged in my collection and Mr. Izzard is one hell of a human being to have brought so much joy to the world in so many ways.
