Synopsis
A hilarious guide to travelling, from the man behind The World of Karl Pilkington - one of our most innovative thinkers, visionaries and prophets, or as Ricky Gervais knows him, 'the funniest man alive in Britain today'. Pack your suitcase and take an irreverent trip with the unlikely star of "The Ricky Gervais Podcast Show", Karl Pilkington, to the furthest corners of Europe. From sunbathing in t-shirts and lizards the length of Toblerones, to a toxic apartment in Ibiza with a used loo that can't be flushed - these witty musings could put you off travelling forever! Gain insight into the curious life of this comic genius from pithy anecdotes. Find out about his mum's obsession with keeping gnomes indoors and his experiences getting high on dope chocolate, to his childhood dentist who filled his perfect back teeth to give them 'extra protection'. This book features Pilkington's original illustrations and imaginative scribblings.

Customer Reviews

who is karl pilkington ?
who is karl pilkington?i cant help feeling that the person he pretends to be is an imaginary simple person who only exists in his own mind.all i can say is he makes me laugh and i enjoyed every page of this book.
is he a genius?ricky gervais thinks not but form your own opinion.

One of the funniest books i've ever read
This book is brilliant, karl is basically the worst philosipher on the planet earth, and his head is similarily shaped to the planet earth aswell. its often his digressions in the book which are the funniest, he can't seem to stay on one topic for too long before he's off on a hilarious rant. If you've never even heard of him you should definately give this book a read. and do some more podcasts you bald manc git!

... Like an orange.
This might sell more if Karl got of his backside and did some more podcasts.

Karl has a head like a flipping orange.
