I been reading Sir John's pranks for quite some time on his web site. I've laughed so hard one day when reading this at work, the guy in the next cubicle from me had to ask what I was laughing at!

Soon as I got the book, I knew it was going to be just as good as his site. Rereading some of the classic pranks was just as fun as it was the first time I read it. And all the new pranks will certainly keep be entertained for quite some time. I definitely hope a sequel is in store, because I can't get enough of Sir John's pranks!

If you enjoy being seriously amused, this is a book for you. Look no further, for this book will quench your thirst for laughter while making fun of those corporations we all to hate, such as Starbucks and Walmart. While some of the material is taken from Sir John Hargrave's Web site, it's still hilarious even if you've seen it before. It's chock full of penises, celebrities, and even some tender moments. What more could you want in a book? For 9.99, it's an excellent deal. I laughed about two billion times while reading it. I effing love this book.

hilarious - I read the first few pages and knew this book was going to be great. I was right.

This book was absolutely hilarious. Whether your a frequent visitor to his equally funny website [...] or a newcomer on the pranking scene, this is a definite read. Each page provides a good laugh and it just gets better as you turn the pages. One of the best books I've read in a loooong time. Kudos to you Sir John Hargrave (even if Britain won't recognize your royalty). Everyone should grab a copy of this book and enjoy. Highly Recommended.

So far, i'm only around two thirds through the book and it is incredibly funny. If you enjoy the type of content on zug.com, and the unique writing style of Sir John Hargrave, I encourage you to buy this book.

This book was so funny I couldn't put it down! I couldn't wait to see who would be pranked next or how the current prank would turn out. Read this book if you like breathtaking laughter complete with tears running down your face! Sir Hargrave is brilliant, devious, hilarious, and proves himself to be the master of pranks!

This book is quite possibly one of the best humor books I've ever read. Each prank contained within is not only original, but cleverly executed. Sir John is an incredible humor writer, and I look forward to more books by him.

Sir John's book can be described in one word: WOW! It's hilarious reading as I vicariously joined him in his wild, wonderful and welcome escapades. As a professional prankster myself, I resent the fact he is so skillful in not only performing satirical stunts, but also writing about them with such great style. Buy the book and find out for yourself how clever this guy is. Sorry, but I can't help hating him a little. Alan Abel

I was delayed at an airport for 4 hrs, and decided to buy this book at the bookstore. I could not put it down. It made me forget I was so angry for being delayed. Besides his pranks being top notch, his writing really makes you identify with his perspective. You actually also learn a few interesting facts about how particular services or companies work (like how to rid yourself of junk mail). This is a great book; highly recommended.

This book is simply... hilarious. If you've never visited his website, you are in for a treat... John is a comedy writer, unlike Bill Bryson or other authors that are 'funny' John is just hilarious.
