5.0 out of 5 stars The Best of the Series, March 3, 2003

This review is from: A Pocketful of Python: Volume 2 (Hardcover)

This whole "Pocketful of Python" series strikes me as just a bit odd. Much of it was released to mark Monty Python's 30th Anniversary, and it seems like something of a cash-in. After all, it's just portions of other Python books crammed into several volumes in a slightly new way.
That said, I have gotten an awful lot of enjoyment from the series (hence the five star rating.) This is undoubtedly the best book of the series. Normally I'd just write about my favorites bits, but John Cleese's selection is so good I'll list them all.
African Notebook, Anne Elk's (Miss) Theory, Arthur "Two Sheds" Jackson, Consulting Jean-Paul Sartre, Eric the Half a Bee, Fear No Man!, Jonah Gambolputty, Larch in Court, The Last Supper, Merchant Banker, Mollusks, Norman Henderson's Diary, History of Mankind Medallions, Oh Lord Please Don't Burn Us, Python Panel, Raymond Luxury Yacht, Sacred Castles, We Are Individuals, and Word Association Football.
