review 1: I was disappointed in the book on the whole. The fly leaf mentions Monty Python and Fawlty Towers in the first paragraph but Cleese, in his wisdom, barely discusses either. Instead we're given an exhaustive trip through his school years and his early writing jobs like The David Frost Show.Cleese needs to accept that what he's known for, what people want to hear about, is Python and Fawlty Towers. Writing a book that covers everything but is just a rip off. It saddens me to say it but I'll never buy another book written by John Cleese.
review 2: In a rarity for an autobiography by a famous comedian this is at times very funny and features frequent stories about famous people you might have actually heard of.This goes between his birth up till the beginning of Py... morethon with occasional divergences into Fawlty Towers and the recent reunion.And it does read like the named writer actually wrote it in his own voice rather than of someone desperately trying not to annoy people and only being as bland as possible. less
