It Not Just You - It Really Is!

Advantages: Brilliant read!
Disadvantages: None!

...really does include everything that IS shit and takes the mickey out of it until you're blue in the face laughing. I absolutely love this book and the second edition - Is It Just Me or Is Everything Shit, Vol II. for which I waited in anticipation until the day of its release. I received this book for Christmas, from my mum who thought it was right up my street. It was and within days I'd read it cover to cover, laughing so hard that it became annoying ...
...reading material. The humour is sophisticated, with obvious signs that these guys are pros...this isn't just a book written by two blokes who've just come back from the pub. This is satire, wit, a little sarcasm and a lot of intelligence, even the arrangement and formation of sentences and language used becomes funny. It's just funny through and through. It's not that easy to make me laugh out loud with books, especially the kind of books released ...

Review of Is It Just Me or Is Everything Shit?: The Encyclopedia of Modern Life - Alan McArthur

Is it just me or is this book.............?

Advantages: a few amusing entries that make you think, "hell yeah"
Disadvantages: once read, never again (though I think that about most books)

...year or two ago. It is a classic shelf filler in places like Borders for the Christmas push, given a hefty price for such a book that once the time of January comes around has a sudden price cut to a more a realistic offering. i chose to review this for the benefit of those who think that at first glance; "what a bizarre title, this book MUST be funny", or "my mate jimbob would really like this!. The fact that I have seen it disappear from grace ...
...is another decent obligation. Well, as you can imagine the book is sarcastic to say the least. This isn't a bad thing when looking at the advantages of its existence. When you hear some of the arguements for things like 'Henmania', a reference to the decade of disappointment created by a man who only ever came close at one tournament every year but got a hill named after him. The inclusions of people like George W Bush (I think we all know what the ...

Review of Is It Just Me or Is Everything Shit?: The Encyclopedia of Modern Life - Alan McArthur

A giant list with a few jokes in each bullet point

Advantages: Funny and witty.
Disadvantages: boring

The Book in itself is quite funny, full of witty jokes and remarks about almost anything. The book lists everything that the authors hate (in alphabetical order) and why they hate them. It is obviously going to get a bit tedious reading paragraph after paragraph on any random thing that the author dislikes, but when is reading an encyclopedia ever fun? This book is definitely not for the light readers, but meant more of a relaxing read for serious ...

'Is it just me or is everything shit?' An excellent read.

Advantages: The humour factor, and the realisation that most of these views are shared by many people.
Disadvantages: As it's quite an easy read it won't take up much of your time, although that's not always bad.

'Is It Just Me or Is Everything Shit?' - The Encyclopedia of Modern Life - Alan McArthur This book is hilarious! I could not stop laughing throughout. It is set out in subject paragraphs, each one having a specific criticism to point out. I think these guys have a pretty pessimistic view of most things, and that is why I found it such a great read. They are simply grumpy old men who moan and complain about the smallest of things, whilst oozing intelligence ...
