_brittsbookshelf_'s review against another edition
4.0
Jeremy Clarkson's honesty and humour is what gets him in trouble a lot of the time.. but it also makes him a great writer.
To understand a big chunk of this book, you have to know a little about British politics. I had zero knowledge of it when I started, which is why I had a hard time with some of the chapters. However, Clarkson knows how to engage everyone in his audience with relatable humour and silly words.
It's also really fun to read this with his voice in mind. I found myself often laughing because I understood exactly how Clarkson would say it.
4/5. I would love to read a book strictly on his farming adventures

Even though I gave the book only 3 stars I did really enjoy it…but like others have written it is just clips from his newspaper articles over a 2ish year period.
Clarkson writes very much how he talks so if you like and appreciate Clarkson’s humour you’ll like the book.
Some chapters had me laughing out loud others left me very nonplussed by them.
Chapters are short so it’s a very easy read to keep picking up and putting down, or reading along side other books.
It’s a good book to recap all the news stories over the last 2 years with short references to Top Gear, Grand Tour and the latest Clarksons Farm.
Would I recommend it! Yes for a Clarkson fan but maybe avoid if your not keen on him.
