Diddly Squat by Jeremy Clarkson

3.0

---

Three stars for the quality of the writing, which is exceptional. And it brings the reality of farming life sharply into focus. Everyone needs to know about modern farming. Clarkson veers wildly between endearing self deprecation and grandiosity. Minus one, though, for the editing - it’s a selection of newspaper columns, one after the other, with no effort to avoid repetition. Minus another for the padding with illustrations and blank pages, so it takes an hour to read for £9.
