I checked the reviews on the printed book's page, and they are almost unanimously glowing. I come here to check out the audio version, mainly to see if it is read by Palin himself, and I see 2 poor reviews about - the book? The good thing I guess is that if you aren't observant enough to know you are reviewing a printed book on an Audio CD page, then your review is probably not worth taking very seriously either.

Python fans obtain insight into the formation and journey of the group through the 70's, as well as the progress of MP's career and matters of family during this same period. I found it very interesting; remarks about MP "sticking to his day job" appear to have been written by people looking for the history of Python, not the history of one of the group's most prolific contributors and the man that most would agree shouldered a heavier part of the load than his fellow Pythons. I went through the Diaries in about three weeks; will probably go through them again in a few months' time as they are enjoyable light reading.
