lubleu's review against another edition
I feel done with this book but for a good reason. The part that I'm most familiar with, and, therefore, interested in, is eloquently explored, and concluded, in Chapter One. The latter pages (or certainly those of which I got to) utilise the same charismatic drunken Oxford don writing style that's both fascinating and perplexing, in equal measure, yet on a topic I'm not overly fussed about pursuing.
vikingwolf's review against another edition
There were funny bits to start with and I loved hearing Kevin Spacey telling his stories but the style of writing in this book was quickly getting on my nerves. Whenever Richard was repeating a conversation he had he WAS SHOUTING ALL THE WORDS OUT JUST LIKE I AM DOING AND IT WAS GIVING ME A DAMN HEADACHE!Every page had these lines and lines of capital letter ranting and it was bugging the hell out of me so I abandoned the book.

A little too long but entertaining for the most part. My only problem with the book was Grant's unnecessary and random criticism of fat people.

One of my all time favorite 'not even guilty' pleasures. Read this years ago, and am still waiting for a sequel.
