4.0

Not sure why this is rated so poorly. Hyperbolic fun read that I wouldn't (and couldn't) take seriously, in a way that reminds me of Top Gear of all things. A third in the book, having sex with a very drunk (and soon to pass out) woman is casually mentioned, I hope that this part was hyperbolic too.

If you can laugh at "across Britain, what the Luftwaffe may have started, contemptuous design and construction have sure to complete", the book is one for you. It's full of stereotypes so it's hard to take anything serious in it. It still made me laugh from time to times.
