Review of The World of Karl Pilkington - Karl Pilkington

This is one of the funniest books, I've ever read. The book is transcripts from the The Ricky Gervais Podcast featuring Gervais, Steven Merchant and Karl Pilkington.

...Its hard to fill out the Ciao criteria for this book. Degree of information? The book will not be read as an encyclopaedia because a lot of the stories are factually incorrect which makes it even funnier. Similarly - how useful? The book does contain some material which could offend, but you have to remember Karl a lot of the time doesn't know what he is saying. Overall, do not read this book in a library, you will get thrown out for being disruptive ...
