A review by heliofoe
Ayoade on Top by Richard Ayoade
funny
lighthearted
slow-paced
3.0
It's a very silly book. Very entertaining if you've ever studied or been interested in media criticism, while being extremely silly about it. If you like Ayoade as a comedian, you'll enjoy the book.
I will say it starts stronger than it finishes. Perhaps the joke of treating a very average film like a brilliant masterpiece only carried it so far. Still a fun short listen though (bonus points for audiobook including side notes about being an audio version)
