4.0

One thing I found was that the characters all seem similar in a way when reading. Maybe it was because it was using examples from the show and only relied on that then trying to expand it but overall I enjoyed this book as I a fan of the show.

This book is so amusing you can read it and hear brittas voice. I like the use of photos and diagram from the show and more indepth information on character.

The use of brackets to indicate why brittas did something or to have speech from other character also made the book seem like brittas has written it.

I also like that when he talks about Carol in the introduction and that he would never do such a thing as get her pregnant and leave her,'which is disrespectful to her', However he did as he mistakes her for his wife but he has never full believed he is the dad of her twins Emily and Tom.

All the chapters are funny. The use of images and photos makes it so funny like the graphs of attendance showing it decrease making Brittas happier and the same with more complaints,like the content page and it has more detail of context needed and it didn't need a weight category.

I also like that there are alot of stories that aren't mentioned in the show. Also that Brittas talks about his ideas and expectations as a whole that the whole team agrees.

Brittas can be a bit arrogant probably without realising. Shown in the courses chapter saying ' I don't attend course to learn, I leave that to others who still have a lot of growing both physical and mental'.

I like the analogy of Alan that he was trying to control a formula one racing car when he has been driving a Ford cortins for years.

The courses like the life-saving for the elderly and the antenatal classes are described positively by Brittas even when they arent success.
The images of warning near both courses are funny,like no dogs in the pool except guide dogs or maximum two pregnant ladies in the pool at any time due to excess water displacement.

I like that Brittas calls customers statistics as he believes 'customer' is impersonal.
