Brilliant - better than part 1!

I just posted this because I feel that, unlike what a previous reviewer said, this is actually even funnier than The Book of Heroic Failures. The original is very focused on 1978 but the sequel obviously covers more ground and a wider area, as Pile heard more anecdotes from more people. But both are highly recommended.

Good, but not as good as Stephen's 1997 effort

While Mr. Pile's most recent effort is very funny, it doesn't quite reach the hilarity of his 1979 gem " the Incomplete Book of Failures". Having said that, I still found it a wonderful read and one of the few books which elicit outright belly laughs. The great thing is that people, being the way they are, will no doubt provide Stephen with an endless supply of fodder for the future exploration of hilarious failures.
