I have to be honest I found this quite a difficult book to read, probably because the way (and speed) I generally read isn't particularly suited to scripts. Having said that though I did find that the only bits I tended to laugh out loud on were the ones that I remember watching and not so much any of the others. This could well be because, for me, the most important part of any and all of the sketches are the actors themselves and without being able to picture them in the various roles, the humour loses a little bit of itself. For hard core fans who know all the episodes or those readers than can envision the Python crew whilst they're reading, this book is perfect but if you don't know the series it certainly looses something when put down on paper. Worth trying though.
