I really wanted to enjoy this book and I didn't. I like John Cleese in the things he have done mostly Fawlty Towers and Monty Python but his writing left me bored. I didn't like that lots of sketches because they distracted me and much like Shakespeare - you need to see, not read. There were moments and a few quotes I wrote down, but over all I will be looking forward to the next (out of three, I have read) biography on Monty Phyton years.
