The Pythons: Autobiography by the Pythons (Abridged) Audiobook

" I was very young when the Pythons started out... but they made me the man I am today! "

" A very thorough account of the Pythons humble beginnings within the confines of Oxbridge and US Midwest to international stardom and infamy. If you're interested in their backgrounds then this book is a good starting point. The chapters at the start of the book before they were "famous" so to speak, felt disjointed and all over the place. And even at some points VERY BORING. Hence it took me a real while to get into the book but once you get to the point where they are working together on Monty Python it becomes a fascinating ans sometimes funny read. "

" It fits in nicely as a companion piece to Almost the Truth. Definitely for the more obsessive Monty Python fan... "

" I'm a big Python fan, but in the end I suppose I'd prefer to just eat and enjoy the sausage, than to see how its made. "

" Amazing book for anyone who is a fan of Monty Python. It has BUNCHES of pictures provided by the Pythons and their families. It is very, very in-depth. Oh, and the chapter on Graham Chapman's death has made me cry every time I've read it. "

" Four stars cause I haven't read it. It's massive, gorgeously laid out and illustrated. Barnes and Nobles was giving them away so each of my siblings got one for Christmas. "

" Yes, Virginia, you can even do research for Spamalot! This is a wide-ranging 1st person account from all of the boys. The state, restate, contradict, argue, and some of the best bits come posthumously from Graham Chapman. Python-head must read. "

" I kinda just want to say "cool" and leave it at that. I'll just add that I enjoyed hearing these interviews and getting a feel for who each of the Pythons were and how their relationship evolved over the years. Not a true "book" but enjoyable nonetheless. "

" Don't get me wrong, I love the Pythons. I just didn't enjoy it as much as other books about Python and with the Pythons' involvement. I suggest Monty Python Speaks instead. "

" If you're a Pythonista, this is required reading! Lots of fun, lots of photos, diary entries and interviews. "

" really great book. a definite must for any python fan. i really like how it brought in the different python stories......well worth the read.... "

" Exhausting... this is literally everything you need to know about the Pythons, from (literally) birth to the present day, all from their own mouths. Only drawback is the really small text. It's understandable given the length of the book, but when they lay it over an image it gets lost. "

" The only thing better than this are the scripts themselves... "

" It was an incredibly poor recording of the interviews, especially with John Cleese with the telephone ringing in the background. I enjoyed hearing the story of the Pythons. "

" I prefer to watch this group's genius on film. I got bogged down and tired of trying to sort out "inside jokes". "

" A great read for any python lover. A visual feast to boot. If you ever wondered why they gave the game away definitely read this for all the not-so-funny behind-the-scenes intrigues. "

" Awesome book, deff recommend its a long read aswell. "

" Funny and informative, whilst also reminding the reader how fallible memory can be - very weird to read four or five clever people remembering one event four or five different ways! "

" My only regret with this book is that I wish that the pictures had been better captioned. "

" This is a great book, the pythons themself come to say, and it's brilliantly let Graham Chapman bee part of it. "

" hilarious. fresh. innovative as always. "

" There is so much here! A great coffee table laden swallow. "
