Diaries 1969-1979: The Python Years (Abridged): The Python Years Audiobook

" Very good book--Palin writes very well and offers some insight into the Python creative process, as well as an interesting view of British and American culture in the seventies. "

" I'm a big Monty Python fan, so I was excited to read this. I wish there had been more detail about the making of the Holy Grail; it's my favorite movie, so I could've read an entire 600 pages on the movie alone. "

" Absolutely fascinating (and FUNNY) first-hand account of the Python years. I'm not fond of non-fiction, usually, but this was terrific!! "

" A really fascinating account of life in the seventies - the description of living through the three-day week was almost as interesting as learning about the genesis of Monty Python! "

" It was extremely interesting to learn how Monty Python formed, planned and carried out their projects. Also, I got to know more about that decade in terms of politics, arts, etc. A must for all Michael Palin and Monty Python fans! "

" Great for python fans. A rare insight. "

" this was okay, it sort of confirms my theory that the nicest people have the most boring diaries, whereas people you wouldn't want to be trapped in a lift with write much more interesting and gossipy prose (ie. piers morgan's diaries) "

" Enjoyed this book of 10 years worth of diary entries from my favorite Python member, Michael Palin! Look forward to reading about the next 10 years, 1980-1989, whenever he comes out with it. "

" Really enjoying this so far. It's like catnip to the Anglophile in me. Also, my weird fascination with the 70s. "

" A lifelong Monty Python fan, I entered the book with great expectations. While the working life of Palin is facinating,the everyday accounts are all to familiar with my everyday life. I confess I read the first hundred pages and then skimmed the rest. "

" excellent account of the days of the groundbreaking monty python team "

" Interesting to see the different real personalities of the Monte Python members "

" I chuckled out loud a few times. No, it wasn't gut-bustingly funny, but it was interesting to read (hear) what Palin thought was worthy of jotting down. "

" I listened to this on Audible audio book. Read by Michael Palin. Can't wait for the next decade. "

" Learned a little about Monty Python but the gossip about friends of Palin's is the best. "

" Great for python fans. A rare insight. "

" I really liked this book.....but who can't fail to warm to Palin!!!! "

" I'm currently on hiatus from this book. It is very interesting so far, but I feel like I need a break and am reading other books at the moment. I will return to it soon though! "

" it's a big damn book. i can't imagine anyone that doesn't like palin or python making their way through this one. but if you do you're bound to really like the guy. and it's a hell of a journey too. "
