This book is about the individual Pythons' lives and what they did outside of Flying Circus and the other Python adventures. I really liked reading about their educational backgrounds and sort of getting to know them as people rather than just becoming familiar with their work.

Forget books about this unfunny group. Get books and DVD's on Benny Hill instead. Hill considered funnier than Monty Python by two TV stations --WOR and WLVI!

Since I am a big Monty Python fan, I really enjoyed this collection of biographical information about each Python member. It was really eye-opening to read about their educations, the fun things they participated in in college, the way they met each other, and what they did before and since. (Up to the point that it was published, of course.) Understanding where they came from gave some really interesting context to their humor!
