Summary: I Would Like To Protest the Previous Reviews
Review: The serial Python book under incineration here deserves more confabulation than given by Amazonians thus far. Succinct to the point of petulance, these dim pages inveigh repeated confusal by any Python fans whose interest peaks. Veterans will find much to squawk about here, and the index is cross-referenced with a plum.

Summary: The ultimate inside look at the Python's
Review: This book, from the mouths of Monty Python, offers a clear view into how their classic humor came about. All six members are much quoted. If the process of how this classic British group evolved and grew interests you then this is a must. Palin on Gilliam. Cleese on Jones. Idle on Graham. And on and on and on. Insights offered into the actual mechanics of writing a sketch or shooting a scene are as unique as the group itself. Title could easily have been Python on Python. If you are a Python fan - ORDER NOW. If not - order now.Sincerely Yours General Elect - Sophie Gruntswald XXOO

Summary: Is this the right room for an argument
Review: This is definitely a book for those interested in the people and the work that went into Monty Python. It is not a funny book nor does it set out to be. It charts the rise of the Python team from their early days at CAMBRIDGE to meeting up with Gilliam, and onto their early days at the BBC throught the making of the three films (not including live at the Hollywood Bowl) to their solo work. The book is set out as a series of interviews covering everything from talent to alcoholism to camera angles and court battles. There is an honesty to a lot of what is said and it gives a real flavour for what it was like to be at the cutting edge of comedy at a time when British comedy was all about safe situation comedy. The author has not only interviewed the remaining pythons but also those that worked with them. If you are interested in Python then this is for you. Incidentally my copy is a much more sensible brown cover , for the reserved British public that Python set out to reform no doubt.

Summary: Python at a Glance
Review: While this book will not reveal anything earth-shattering to the average Python fan, it is a fun and witty look at one of the most influencial comedy teams ever. As a fan of Python fan, I really enjoyed it. The five surviving members of Python and the partner of the late Graham Chapman were interviewed on a variety of topics including the origins of Python, writing the shows, making the movies, and the disbanding of the Pythons. David Morgan also catches up with the surviving members of Monty Python at their most recent reunion in 1999. The retorts to the questions are the informative yet witty replies you would expect from these comic legends. The book gives a solid history of Monty Python in the words of the men themselves. Readers get an excellent idea of what was going on behind the scenes. Everything is discussed including the parrot sketch.
