Book Reviews of World According to Clarkson.
Book Review: Not my cup of tea
Summary: 2 Stars
Reading this volume by Jeremy Clarkson reminded me very much of another book of the same genre I had read some years back, namely Stephen Clarkes's "Year In The Merde", which I hated. It was supposed to be funny and entertaining but I found it frivolous and annoying, chock full of hyperbole and clever sentences and no content. It might be fun to read Clarkson's weekly Sunday Times column now and then but to actually go out and buy an entire compilation of his articles and read them back to back is something to avoid.
I must be missing something cos nearly everybody else seems to be enjoying his books but I'm putting out this warning to the small minority of readers who don't - like me perhaps - get it.
