Always Look on the Bright Side of Life: A Sortabiography by Eric Idle

4.0

Thoroughly enjoyable! Eric Idle is a fun talent to begin with, and getting to hear all his backstage banter from the early years of Monty Python and beyond is wonderful enough, but he also offers some wonderful anecdotes about other beloved talents like Robin Williams, George Harrison, Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, the Rolling Stones, and various SNL cast members. I loved learning about how Spamalot came about, how the Rutles were formed, and madcap adventures with Robin Williams in Italy. It's just a joy to read, and you'll be whistling the classic "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" the whole way through.
