Review

For IIJM: 'One of the many things that irritates these guys is rave reviews: so I'll just say it's very funny and recommend you to buy it. Unless of course you're a big fan of the Daily Mail' Stewart Prebble, author of GRUMPY OLD MEN *'An A-Z rant about the naffness of modern life that's so relentlessly bitter it's actually rather uplifting' MARIE CLAIRE *'Bilious old-codgering taken to the highest possible level ... Excellent' TIME OUT

This review is from: Is It Just Me Or Is Everything Shit? (Vol. 2) (Hardcover)

I bought this book cos i thought the title was good and few of the pages i breezed through while at the book store made me laugh.

But i must say its more of a British book, so people who dont live there, some of the jokes will fall very very flat. But the ones that relate to you, are really awesome stuff.

The book is about our day today issues which is viewd from the authors point of view which will find reflections in your own thoughts. Its a good book while travellig.
