Despite the TV adaption being utter shite, we still think Logs book is a work of genius.

Product Description

Do you look back on your school days, and remember magical times, powerful and enduring friendships, and secret adventures? Well, snap out of it. You're deluding yourself. Based on the popular website playgroundlaw.com The Law of the Playground is a dictionary of the insults, games, torture, legendary anecdotes and pure creative insanity that we all - as pre-moral children -inflicted on each other. Whilst the emphasis is always on humour, the book acknowledges that children can be bastards, and begrudgingly accepts that it's, actually, very amusing. Written with dark nostalgia, and more wit and substance than average, everyone can find something they will identify with in The Law of the Playground. A timely antidote to the rose-tinted view of childhood offered by FriendsReunited.co.uk and SchoolDisco.com.

'Great fun', Lads Magazine

ICE magazine, December 2004
"If you were a cruel kid you'll love this. Glorious, puerile insults in abundance."

Customer Reviews

It wasn't what I was expecting
I was kind of hoping for a series of funny, interesting or weird story's from people's school days, not necessarily celebritey's.

I was quite suprised that it wasn't anything like the TV show. Although the TV show is fantastic, this book isn't so good.

The book is written with the games, insults or whatever written in an alphabetical order, which is fair enough, but it could have been done better.

If you are hoping for a written version of the TV show, this is not it. As a book in its own right it's not bad, but it is aimed at the 30+ group, I'd say.

Law of the playground
I laughed until I cried, mentally ticking off all the pranks/jokes/violence inflicted on my classmates & myself. I have had to hide my copy somewhere very safe out of fear that my 11 year old would find out just what the comments of 'lively' on my school reports really alluded to. This is a must for anyone who has ever been to school & a waste of time for those that haven't because you wouldn't understand what the words meant...

A thumpin' good read
This book is simply chuffing great. It's funnier than a broken pit pony and will give you more laughs than you're ever likely to find at a comedy night down at the Huddersfield Emporium. Buy it now.

And you know what the icing on the cake is? Jimmy Carr is NOT in it. Not ONCE. That, for me, is the mark of true perfection.
