I had a pretty bad day when I decided to pick this up and it really made me laugh which was much needed. :)

I adore Jen Campbell, I can never wait for her to upload a new video on her youtube channel because she's got a very interesting taste in literature. Since I discovered her through youtube I decided I'd give her works a go. I enjoyed this little book, it was funny and easy to read and it made me question once again my faith in humanity!

Really cute little book is this. Ideal in between two bigger books. My personal favorites:
CUSTOMER: I’ve got a list of books for my son’s GCSE English class. Can you check if you have them?
BOOKSELLER: Sure, what are they?
CUSTOMER (reading from the list): The first one is Jane Eyre Laid Bare.
BOOKSELLER: Erm, I’m pretty sure that he just needs Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë.
CUSTOMER: No. That’s not the title written down here. This one’s written by Charlotte Brontë and someone else. I suppose it must be some sort of literary criticism?
BOOKSELLER: … Erm, well, Jane Eyre Laid Bare is erotica – a retelling of the novel.
CUSTOMER: Oh. That can’t be right. Wait a minute, and I’ll call him.
(Customer phones her son)
CUSTOMER: Hi David … yes … I’m just getting your course books and this woman here is telling me that Jane Eyre Laid Bare is some sort of erotic novel. That’s not right, is it? Do you know what she’s talking about?
(Pause)
CUSTOMER (hissing angrily down the phone): What do you mean you thought you’d just read that one instead?
BOOKSELLER: Sure, what are they?

(Door bangs open and a flustered looking man runs in)
FLUSTERED LOOKING MAN: I’m the idiot who tried to get in earlier when you were closed! Did you see me? I literally tried to open the door for two whole minutes! Did you notice?
BOOKSELLER: Well … no … because we were closed … and I wasn’t here.

الجزء الأول من الكتاب كان خفيفا ومسليا. ويبدو أنه تم استثمار نجاح الجزء الأول تجاريا لإصدار هذا الجزء الخالي من اللون والطعم والرائحة. ما الذي يهمني إن أخطأ أحدهم في عنوان كتاب أو في اسم الكاتب أو تصرف بعصبية أو حاول عدم دفع سعر الكتاب من المتجر؟! إنها أشياء تحدث أغلب الأحيان، وبما أن ما يشابهها ذكر في الجزء الأول، فهي لم تعد غريبة على الإطلاق.
