David Mitchell has a wonderful wit and sense of humour. His collection of columns from The Observer is no exception and I found myself laughing out loud often. The downside of this collection was the time period it covered, some of these columns were well over five years old. If they were on more general topics, this would have been fine, but many are linked to political and current events that are now horrendously out of date - to the point that the inaccuracy of his opinions in retrospect makes you wonder why you're reading it. If only the inclusions had been better selected, or a better context given as to why they were selected. A shame.
