Vivid, ridiculously entertaining, and, at times, explosively funny... Cleese is a master of crisp comic prose: his elegant syntax and sudden absurdities would have PG Wodehouse raising a martini glass. So, Anyway... glows with fairness, kindness, gentleness and loyalty.

Sunday Express
Told with considerable charm and a refreshing amount of candour, the story ... Read moreis one of a vulnerable soul gradually finding a degree of security from behind a carapace of cutting wit... Remarkably warm and generous.
Graham McCann
Times Literary Supplement
John Cleese's memoir is just about everything one would expect of its author - smart, thoughtful, provocative and above all funny... A picture, if you will, of the artist as a young man.
Washington Post
So, Anyway... breaks away from the shallow conventions of the famous person's autobiography... The result is a book that is frequently hilarious, occasionally lyrical and always thoughtful. It is a fine and funny achievement.
Herald
Like having a long lunch with an amiable, slightly loony uncle. Who also happens to be John Cleese.
