5.0 out of 5 stars first review?, September 3, 2007

By	Judacia (California) - See all my reviews

It's been almost 10 years since the book has been out. It's about time that someone dropped a line about it. Whether you are a fan or not, this book will not disappoint. It shares photos & memories of growing up, frequent relocation (home & school), loss of his mother, and realizing his belief in total clothing rights.

2.0 out of 5 stars Dress to Kill only slightly wounds, August 22, 2009

By	E. Elaine Sutherland (Brussels, Belgium) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was expecting a biography, but in fact the books is a sort of written version of Eddie's onstage ramblings. The chatty, slang-filled and unfocused style makes him seem much less intelligent and more self-indulgent than he really is. The photographs are also a bit of a disappointment, since they make a leap from childhood/adolescence to the period of the Dress to Kill performance, with nothing in between. The most recent photos seem to mostly be casual snapshots of him wandering the streets of New York and San Francisco. Eddie Izzard is a genius in his craft, brilliantly perceptive, and a great humanitarian. Someone of his substance and uniqueness deserves a better record of his life and career. One can only hope that one will come later.
