A Pocketful of Python (Pocketful of Python)

Summary: Another Portable Laugh (Not that that's a bad thing)
Review: A funny, useful little companion. Including classics and unknowns. This is definitely something Python fans will love. This outrageous, must-reread, book has tasty tidbits of Python humor, song lyrics, and some not-as-well-known sketches. If you're a follower of Monty Python, You have to read the Pocketful of Python series. Definitely worth ordering.

Summary: Glorious, simply glorious
Review: Spamtastic! It's so nice and little, I can carry it around with me in my purse and backpack! It's great when I need a Python fix. It has "The Lumberjack Song" and "Spam" and "Every Sperm is Sacred" Lyrics, but it also has really funny, lesser known skits like "Constitutional Peasants" (from Holy Grail) and "What Have the Romans Ever Done For Us?" (from Life of Brian). I was really torn between this one and John Cleese's Pocketful of Python, but the "Truth About Protestants" skit (from Meaning of Life) made me get it. Every Python fan should own this. It's a funny and wonderful mix of popular and unpopular Python and will make you [at least] giggle every time you read it.

Summary: Great Material
Review: There is some very, very excellent stuff in here, and enough to make up for the fact that it's a very blatant repackaging of old Python material. It seems a little like exploitation to tell you the truth, but the skits are so good that it's forgivable. Some of the best are Lumberjack Song, Madame Palm, Constitutional Peasants, Every Sperm is Sacred, and especially the Oxford Simplified Dictionary. Also included is a very funny preface by Terry Gilliam.
