Absolutely hilarious and surprisingly sensible. We should have made him prime minister as soon as the book was published.

Collection of newspaper column rants from 2008 onwards. A little time capsule of news, some reactions to surveys/small studies. I did laugh in parts - I think I would prefer to read a memoir or fiction written by him rather than these snippets.

I ended up not reading this, I really disliked it BUT the book I did read isn't on GoodReads.
A Move Too Far by R Richardson - a children's book with a hint of Enid Blyton.

Very witty as you would expect, a bit out of date now though so need to look for something more recent from him!

I was in stitches at the audiobook introduction! Poor Henry VIII
it took me a long time to finish this one, bc it's a lot of moaning and not much funny, which is too bad bc generally I enjoy David Mitchell in his other incarnations. alas.

I like David Mitchell and his comedy, but as these are pieces culled from his Observer columns, the topics that interest you will be great chapters while the others will leave you cold. I was hoping for something new, especially with all the hype surrounding its publication.
