4.0 out of 5 stars a great parody of a classic, January 7, 2003

This review is from: Lady Chatterley's Lover: According to Spike Milligan (Paperback)

I agree with the first reviewer--the original is funny in its own right, and Spike knows just how to use Lawrence's own phrases to skewer him. A lot of fun if you've read the original.

This review is from: Lady Chatterley's Lover: According to Spike Milligan (Paperback)

This book is Spike rewriting Lady Chatterly. The original is quite a turgid mess, and Spike improves it immensly by asking the questions most of us thought when we read the original.

He also improves it quite a bit by adding a lot of humor.

It's worth a read if you like Spike's humor (but I would recommend most of his other books - especially the war memoirs - if you want a worthwhile read). Something to take the taste of DH away is the best way to describe this.
