4.0 out of 5 stars
A very funny book about a very tragic life.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin (Paperback)
I think the BBC television shows of Reggie are the funniest TV shows ever, so when I learned that the show was adapted from a book I had to read it. Sometimes a movie is better than the book or vice versa; in this case, I think that both book and TV show are wonderful, each playing to their particular medium's strengths. After my many years working in business, I find Reggie's life to be hauntingly familiar. The humor can be very subtle at times and some people may not get it. I didn't get where I am today without knowing that this is one of the funniest books I've ever read.

4.0 out of 5 stars
One of those books that makes you smile,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin (Paperback)
The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin is the funniest book I have read in a long time. After getting used to the British slang and unusual mood of the book, I was hooked.It takes a while to realize what is going on, and when you do - that is when the situations are funny. The humor is slight and you have to pay attention to get the jokes; especially the insults he gives to his family and co-workers. The ending is hard to accept, untill you realize it is the perfect mix-up to this mans mid-life crisis.
5.0 out of 5 stars

Like the series of the same name, this is truly a gem! Read it, or watch it, I did both and do every few years. Funny, witty, sad, and wonderful - Goodbye Reggie.
