Review by Ray (100206) Rating (8/10) Review
by Ray This book is made up of the last few years of Clarkson's articles in the Sunday Times. He covers everything from technology, football, education, mindless bureaucracy and obviously cars. Some of the stories that he has from this Top Gear days and travelling around Europe will have you chuckling. His brand of humour can be incredibly clever sometimes but can appear juvenile too. He's not afraid to take the 'p' out of anything including himself. One classic from the book is a story about when he was at RAF Henlow where he saw a poster for the pilots. It warns pilots that alcohol will make them aggressive and violent. Is that really a bad thing for fighter pilots? Where the book fails a little is that it’s not up to date. He writes his articles for the now and unless you can remember all the little things that were going on in 2001-2003 some of the humour may be lost on you. Saying that, it's a funny book, and one you can step in to and out of at your leisure. I guarantee you will be laughing out loud at some of the stuff in this book. I'd
recommend it to anyone. |
