Summary: A correction
Review: ...to write a book from inside an urn? I wish I was you. Well, actually not...it might be rather cramped and dark in there. You've given us a book which is nothing like your written masterpiece, A LIAR'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY, but you've still managed to supply us with some great light-hearted fun. And as a true blue member of the Python Crew, that's just what we'd expect you to do. We'll never forget you, old chap...thanks for the memories; thanks for the book.

Summary: A "Must Have" for Monty Python/Graham Chapman fans!
Review: Anyone who loves Monty Python and/or Graham Ghapman will love this book. It's filled with typical "Chapman" humor, and the rare personal photos add a nice touch. Jim Yoakum did an excellent job compiling past stories about Graham, which were collected during the many conversations they had in the final years before Graham's death. Very funny, yet touching. Don't miss this one!

Summary: A good book for anyone who watched Python and liked it!
Review: Have you ever had those moods where you wanted to read something simple, that wasn't nessisarilly an awsome book, but a good one to miander through? This is one of those books. It was fun to read and had me chuckling throughout! Learn how they came up with The Ministery of Silly Walks scetch, and even scripts that have never been released! Great book. If you have watched python and liked it, this book is for you.

Summary: Classic Python humour lives on with dead Chapman
Review: Leave it to Graham Chapman, who has been dead for 8 years, to keep Python humour alive. His new book (actually compiled by Jim Yoakum who was a one-time writing partner of Chapman's) tells tales both tall and true about his crazy days as a member of Monty Python, as well as his life before and afterwards. The book is full of genuine laughs and sometimes touching moments and is a fine addition to the Python ouevre. The pictures are nice too. A high reccomendation for fans of Python or anyone who enjoys a great laugh.

Summary: A disgrace to Graham Chapman's memory
Review: This waste of paper is so astoundingly bad as to make one's jaw drop. It's another nail in the coffin of Graham Chapman's literary estate as those responsible continue to 'edit' and 'publish' any old scraps of rubbish which they can find. Chapman was a great comic talent and deserves something much, much better than this. If I could give it no stars at all, I would.Graham Crackers (a rubbish title which demonstrates in itself how at odds with Chapman's own style of humour this book's 'editor' is) consists of scrappy, unfunny, rejected bits of Chapman material cobbled together with fake Chapman material by the 'editor'. It's not funny, it's not interesting, it's dreadful. Surely Chapman's family can stop this sort of thing. I think it's very telling that no respectable publisher would touch this 'book' and it ended up being put out by a company which specialises in career guidance! And in the UK, I note, it couldn't find a publisher at all. It is also obvious to those who know his distinctive style that many of the five-star reviews of this book here are actually the 'editor' posting from various e-mail addresses. Dear oh dear...
