3.0 out of 5 stars
Good, but not good enough for Brooker.,
By
This review is from: Screen Burn (Paperback)
I was introduced to Charlie Brooker through the TV 'adaptation' of this book (itself a collection of his columns from The Guardian). In it, I found Brooker to be hilarious, cutting, and spot on with everything he said.
This book is no different and it won't throw you any surprises if you've taken even a cursory look at his column: it'll have you laughing in public and nodding in agreement all the way through. There is one caveat, however: you need to watch a lot of TV in order to 'get' most of this book. As someone who doesn't watch ANY 'broadcast' TV (only on-demand downloads) the majority of the TV references went straight over my head. Still, this didn't spoil my enjoyment of the book much at all. If you want to spend your time more wisely, watch his TV shows or read his other, non-TV-related books. (The 3* rating may be misleading... it's good, just not 4*s worth of good.) |
