If you enjoy Monty Python’s Flying Circus, Fawlty Towers, “Fish
Called Wanda” or anything else that John Cleese was involved in you want to
read this book. The book is an autobiographical
account of John Cleese life up through 2014.
He goes into great pains to describe the trials and tribulations of
growing up in England as an only child with one dysfunctional parent. He describes how his parents, being an only
child, frequently moving to different houses or towns and how his schools had a
major impact how his personality was formed.
He explains that his real passion is writing and acting was just a
chance encounter that he stumbled into not once but several times. In chronological order, he talks about the
people he has met, what jobs that lead him into and how that encounter leads
him to the next situation. The connection
from when he graduates from college to present is amazing how everything fell
into place. By far one of the more entertaining books I
have read this year and yes, it is extremely funny as expected.
I received a
free copy of this book from WaterBrook Multnomah in exchange for my honest
review of the book.
