The best book on comedy you FIbAnnfEn haven't read (yet)By G. GuarinoComedy Rules is a unique book about the genre. mT4pqkmDL Jonathan Lynn's anecdotal style makes this an easy read, helping the reader 1n1KfXZTD understand the nuances of writing comedy. As a long time fan of Mr. Lynn and ADY1CzVQL his work, particularly the Yes, Minister/Prime Minister series, I found his mIZjxQ1TC references entertaining as well. Anyone interested in writing comedy in prose or Q8o2hbp8S for the screen, should read this book. Makes me wish I was with the members of Monty Python as they rose to fame.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Interesting fun, but with no big focus or payoffBy DalcassianThere is not much bad to say about the author or the book, though it might prove disappointing to fans of "My Cousin Vinny" about which relatively little appears. The book has the strengths of its design -- mixing how-to with autobiography and thereby giving us insights and nice anecdotes of life, creativity, and celebrity, along with a fair dose of laughter. It also has the weaknesses of that structure -- lacking strong focus, flow, and analysis.Fans of the multi-talented accomplished man, his works, or his field should definitely give it a look. But there's no big payoff or put-off. ("My Cousin Vinny" also deserves more share of recollection than it gets here even if it is technically after the title time period.)0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. very enlighteningBy Robert and Jo Anna Oldania great addition to my library of "yes, minister" and "yes, prime minister" material...hard to find book, but worth the search Jonathan Lynn's credits include creating and co-writing the long-running comedy series Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister, as well as hit films Clue, My Cousin Vinny, Nuns on the Run and The Whole Nine Yards. With experience as a comedy actor, writer and director, here Jonathan Lynn shares valuable and hilarious lessons in all aspects of creating great comedy, all illustrated with brilliantly insightful and revealing anecdotes about his work and the legedary actors, writers and comedians he's worked alongside..
