The work of a twisted genius Advantages: Hilarious, light-hearted and easy to get into Disadvantages: Quite short Quite simply the funniest book I've ever read, and one that highlights the genius that hides behind Karl Pilkington's clueless exterior. The book is made of up transcripts from the podcast series featuring Ricky Gervais, Karl Pilkington and Steve Merchant. All of the transcripts make the adaptation from sound to print very well and I defy anyone to read through them and not laugh out loud on several occasions. Added to the transcripts are amusing ...

Extremely offensive book. Brilliant! Advantages: New and hilarious jokes. Jest at everybody's expense. Disadvantages: Could have been longer. Will cause offense to many. This was written by the collective that is the b3ta community: Thousands of people who rank amongst the funniest of the Internetters. I bought this for a family member during Christmas and this book far exceeded its cost in entertainment value during Christmas Day. I would recommend this to everyone with a very open-minded sense of humour but beware; there are jokes in here which will offend every culture, race, sex, minority and the occasional ... ...and I think that if the BBFC covered books, this would not pass the 18 certificate. I have one complaint with this book: With all the content from which the website the jokes originated, a fraction of the excellent jokes made it into this book. This could have been longer and made me laugh for longer, but overall an excellent and refreshing diversion from the generic joke books. ... davemandy 06.09.2007 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of The Bumper b3ta Book of Sick Jokes - Rob Manuel
By Royal Appointment Advantages: SUE TOWNSEND Disadvantages: Too many Adrian Moleisms! ...enjoy reading so much, that the minute I have finished, I want to start reading it over again! Adrian Mole was my first introduction to Sue Townsend and her style of writing appealed greatly to me, it was informal, light and reflective or indeed, indicative of 'society' at the time. Reading the Queen and I was a pleasure from start to finish. it charts the fall and fall of the Royal Family, who are moved to a council estate after a Republican Government ... ...Queen manages well, Margaret on the other hand fights tooth and nail) and what it does brilliantly is reflect the inner feelings of the Royal family and the notions that we all have about them...Anne gets on with it and falls for a carpet fitter...Diana, dresses for the challenge, Charles turns his garden into an allotment and has 'never looked happier'.

Get Your Nose In Someone Else's Business Advantages: funny, clever, original Disadvantages: none ...giggling little audience. The Little Mole came to my attention thanks to my dearly beloved, who for some reason thought it might tickle me. And he was right: even just the title and the concept tickled me, so the next time I found myself in a bookshop with a fiver to spare I ventured into the kiddie section (which was like a journey back in time for me - I used to spend so much time in there begging my Mum to buy me all manner of books - shame the ... ...to locate a copy of the oversized book. I had been imagining something Mr.Men sized, but this is a landscape-A4. Curiosity could not be contained, and I whipped it out as soon as I was on the tube and proceeded to read - complete with giggles, snorts at snuffles at the delightful story, which goes something like this: Our little Hero - The Mole - pokes his head out one morning only to have something or someone deposit a sausage on his head. Not ... melee 15.02.2005 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of The Story of the Little Mole Who Knew It Was None of His Business - Werner Holzwarth
Read it and weep...FOR JOY Advantages: Hilarious, varied, cheaply available, even has drawings! Disadvantages: Too short - but there's a second volume! ...Cooper (real name Robert Popper, the man behind some of Look Around you with Simon Pegg and scripter of Series 3 of Peep Show with Radio 4's Mitchell and Webb) is a man of considerable spare time. To help pass the hours he writes letters to member organizations, rotary clubs, airlines and other venerable organs with bizzarre, nonsensical requests, or just to waste their time with crazed inventions he has made and wishes to share with a rightly disinterested ... ...[End of Correspondence] stamp when the organization simply no longer responds to his absurd and increasingly mental missives. Some of the most outstanding letters include a noise reducing machine known as the Imsimil Berati-Lahn (this made me cackle for a good hour), a machine that harvests mustard from wasps (Waspard!) and an offer to supply Beef Scarecrows (later corrected to 'Beel'!) to a Gardening Centre. And wait til you see the drawings that ... Hypernation 09.07.2008 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of The Timewaster Letters - Robin Cooper
