Book Reviews of The Greedy Bastard Diary: A Comic Tour of America

Book Review: An Idle Classic
Summary: 5 Stars

"Boston, home of the worst tea party ever. Yanks have been making bad tea ever since. They seem to think it has something to do with chucking tea bags into cold water."
The classic Idle humour shines through in this book which is more of a stream of consciousness collection of wit, observations and tales about his life than a diary as such. As Eric makes his way around Canada and the USA, events and places inspire thoughts and memories about his life. We are treated to precious thoughts about the success of his marriage, the treasured times spent with his good friend George Harrison, the life that his inspired his wit and humour, and of course the inevitable mention of his fellow Pythons.
An easily digestable collection of touching experiances and pure wit that I would recommend to anyone with a sense of humour.
