The parts of it I liked, I really liked. There were definitely multiple points where I laughed aloud, including his imaginary response to being asked why he wasn't an American Citizen yet. It's not his fault that some of his best friends are some of the most famous entertainers that ever lived...and I thought it made sense to list some more people in the "weird stuff kept happening to me" section. However, other than George and Robin, he didn't go into too much depth about friendships, and I would have liked to see some deeper self-reflection and growth through those experiences. You could also tell how deeply sad he is to have had so many of these people die, and he did seem to want to share a bit about them in particular.
The main reason I wanted to give four stars is that I have a deep emotional attachment to Monty Python because it was one of the few great things in my childhood. I went to London to see the show at the O2, and I saw Eric and John C. in San Diego. I don't need them to be perfect or particularly modern because they already changed the world.
If you love them, read the book. If you're going to be put off by his cheating wantonly on his first wife, or if you're annoyed by namedropping, probably skip it. I don't imagine I'll read it again, but I'm glad I did.
p.s. Writing this just after Terry Jones died is incredibly sad.
