Customer Reviews

Tripe
Its very easy to say yes to everything when your backed up by an over inflated BBC salary, not funny, a couple of amusing situations, on the dance floor and waiting for the ferry in singapore. If id noticed that Davina Macall had said this man was a genius on the front cover I wouldn`t have purchased it(as she normally presents shows for those of an IQ lower than one). Its a poor read about an overpaid self pitying individual.

As much as I didnt like this book the underlying theme is really interesting and the Maitraya idea is genuinely thought inducing.

Wait for it to turn up at a car boot sale, dont buy it.

YES
I love this book, he get's into so many odd situations. I even saw when he was on Richard and Judy, I couldn't stop laughing. It's a book that worth reading, if you don't laugh when reading this book I would wonder if your even human.

One of my best buys this year.
I was recommended this book by an Italian and i was very sceptical about the hilarity of this book, then i came on Amazon and found it. I decided to buy it as the price was so good. I started to read it as soon as it arrived and found it to be hilarious!! This book is a really good read, but i recommend it for older readers a it contains more adult humor.
