Best known, of course, for his appearances in the recent AA commercials, it will no doubt come as a surprise to many that John Cleese was previously involved in comedy within a little-known troupe of comedians known as Monty Python, and also wrote and starred in a completely unknown sitcom named Fawlty Towers. Having now reached the dizzy heights of television advertising, Cleese has become a face recognisable across the world and a much-quoted, often controversial figure within the media. This book brings together some of the funniest and most interesting quotes from The Comic Messiah himself.
Do not buy this book. Do Not Buy This Book if you are expecting first, a book; it is really just a pamphlet, (53 pages) and second if you are expecting it to be funny. It is NOT filled with side splitting quotes; there are a few humorous lines here and there, but most of it is banal, ordinary chat.

What a guy! In my opinion John Cleese is one of the funniest guys on the planet. I’ve got all his DVDs and this book was a worthy addition to my Python collection.
