I am a HUGE Monty Python fan, so this was a great treat for me. I don't really see why anyone who isn't a Python fan would read it, but I wouldn't recommend it to them. Only people who are fans should read this, otherwise I would see it as just a waste of time...

Interesting and funny at times. I especially enjoyed the insider tidbits about the Monty Python bunch and their history together.
Sometimes Idle is downright profound, too. Here's a quote I particularly liked:

"Religions are ancient attempts by mankind to come to grips with some of the great moral questions of life, as we evolved from our animal state and before we had any clear idea of what was going on in the universe. I don't wish to be circumscribed by two-thousand-year-old philosophical ideas any more than I would want to be cured by two-thousand-year-old medical practices or be forced to agree with scientific ideas of Nought B.C."
