In these pages the sixth-nicest Python is cheeky, touching and funny when recounting the riotous tales of his beginnings, his school days in a Dickensian academy for boys, and his affectionate reminiscences of fellow Pythons, traveling the world, as well as his longtime friend, George Harrison. Astonishing, moving, at times even amusing, this chronicle of Idle's road trip during his Greedy Bastard Tour will improve your sex life dramatically. After only a few pages you will begin to feel intelligent, charming, and clever, then aroused, then funny. And after a few chapters whatever personal or health problems you are experiencing will immediately vanish. So come experience 80 days, 15,750 miles, and 49 cities as you never have before!
Industry Reviews
"The entries...transcend their origins because Idle is warm and witty, and uses his blog time well, reminiscing about the Pythons' glory days, meditating on the aesthetics of comedy..., and recounting many odd happenings on the road....Idle's ruminations dazzle, amuse, and even move us: his recollections of his father's untimely death and his own unhappy childhood in English boarding schools are particularly poignant."
Booklist - Jack Helbig (02/15/2005)
"[Idle writes] with wit and honesty."
