kbuchanan 's review for:
Of course this one was a fun read, made even more enjoyable by listening to the audiobook read by the author. I particularly enjoyed the earlier parts of the memoir, chronicling Idle's childhood growing up in the north of England in the post-war years. As the work progresses to the height of Monty Python's fame, we get a glimpse of this time of extraordinary creativity and innovation fostered by the collision of such unique and talented minds. If the latter portions of the book tend to devolve a bit into long name-dropping lists of celebrity friends and globe-trotting, the very genuine tributes to deep friendships such as those Idle has with figures such as George Harrison and Robin Williams are very touching. Definitely enjoyable, and highly recommend the audio version!
