Customer Reviews

I'm halfway through and I've had alot of laughs already

I picked this up. Just in the mood for something dry and funny. I got that with this book. The segment on Sex and the city has been worth reading it alone. Very British. Written for the British. Which is fine. I'm Australian so I know what they are talking about in ninety percent of the time. If you know what they mean by Tony Blair, New Labour, Tesco's etc. Then this book is funny. Even if you don't know alot about Britain it's still a funny book. Because alot of the scenarios they talk about is common to all western countries.

Too Close To Truth & Funny

Fantastically funny observations on life and all that is ridiculous. I am a Brit and live in the US and this makes me miss the dry, often cruel British sense of humour (or was that humor) I have the two British versions and now this one. Keep it coming! David Charlotte NC Plymouth UK

Awesome!

I came close to having an accident I laughed so hard at these guys. This book might require a taste for British humor, though.
