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

3.0

Knew next to nothing about Idle before reading this. Lived quite an interesting life, with aside from the obvious Python chronology, a lot of interesting relationships with other film and music industry figures.

I think a moral heart is sort of missing from the story which I suppose is fitting for Python. Idle strikes a weird balance between suggesting fame means hardly anything and is a burden/sharing stories of friends who thought the same and relying heavily on casually funny anecdotes really only made special by the fact a famous person said them.

Still a fun read - absolutely if you like Python.
