Hasn’t aged well - quite offensive at points
And nowhere near as funny as the first idiot abroad book

To be honest, this one probably could have received 3.5 or 4 stars. I just, I'm like one of those teachers that gives out low grades so something really spectacular can be a 5. There is nothing wrong with a 3.5. I really enjoyed this book.
Karl is such an entertaining man. The way he thinks makes me laugh. I don't think he ever means to be offensive or curt, in fact I believe the opposite, I think he thinks he is being kind of non-judgemental. He is so blunt and basic and it is so refreshing and humorous! How he got this gig is beyond me but I love the show, I love the book and I'm quite sure I'll be speaking with an English accent for the next week and finishing sentences with "innit". (Try it - so fun to say!)
I'm a big fan!

this book does not need to exist. covers exactly the same ground as seasons 2 and 3 of the show. I guess if you had no TV this would be a good substitute.

Probably would have enjoyed it more if I hadn’t seen the TV show first. Still, an enjoyable read.

I really like Karl Pilkington. He is my kind of person. What's all the fuss about?
I didn't enjoy this book as much as the first because as Karl says you get used to Ricky and Stephen stitching him up to do stuff he doesn't want to do and by now you know how Karl will react.
It is an interesting read and defiantly makes me want to go on more adventures such as Route 66. I would avoid any type of cuddle party though, that is most certainly not my idea of fun.

Having read the first book in the series I was expecting a lot more from this book and was rather disappointed. Some of the facts were interesting but him complaining all the time got a bit old and annoying.
I will probably read other books that he has written.
