Before Stephen Fry there was Sir Peter
Such an interesting and funny man. This book was written in 1977, so missed out the last 27 years of his life. Sir Peter was the Stephen Fry of my youth, the person you'd invite for dinner. I grew up listening to many of the anecdotes that are in the book from his numerous appearances on Parkinson. Listening to this on audible allowed for his accents, many fluent languages and impersonations to come out how he intended.

He is a storyteller who is a joy to listen to.
Sir Peter Ustinov's autobiography goes from his birth in April 1921, and spans his extraordinary career as actor, playwright, film star and director to the mid to late 1970's.
Narrated by the author, Ustinov's renowned gift for mimicry is exploited to the full in Dear Me.
I found it interesting and entertaining, as Peter always is on interview/talk shows. He is a storyteller who is a joy to listen to.
Would I listen to the audiobook again? Yes, I read the book back in the 90's and this is the second time that I have listened to the audiobook.
An enjoyable, entertaining read/listen.

A very clever man
From an interesting family back ground with an amazing talent. My only criticism is the way he underplays his brilliance and enormous intelligence. It is defiantly worth a listen.

An amazing gentleman
Lovely to hear his voice, listening to his wonderful stories. A fabulous character, who brings to life the characters in his life with his talent as a mimic.

Classsic Ustinov
The great whitt and racontour that is Peter Ustinov shines through in this reconting of varioussections of his life.Beginning (Of course) with his birth, Peter leads us through his school and movie life using anecdotes from the highs and lows of the time in a way only Mr ustinov knows.
Beautifully told.

In the Spirit of Ustinov!
I enjoyed the voices and perspectives of Ustinov as he leads us from his birth and childhood to adulthood. It allowed me to appreciate the influences and family background that lead to him being such a fine raconteur (all, naturally, told through vignette anicdotes!).
I'm a fan of Ustinov performances - particularly his pleasure in having an audience and 'upping' his game to match the reaction. This reading doesn't have that element, so is somewhat subdued for it.
Still enjoyable and informative.
