For Crying Out Loud: The World According to Clarkson v. 3 (World According to Clarkson 3) - Jeremy Clarkson

For Crying Out Loud: The World According to Clarkson v. 3 (World According to Clarkson 3) - Jeremy Clarkson

Hes difficult, argumentative but totally unafraid to express views guaranteed to tread on ... more

many people's toes -- that's Jeremy Clarkson. And
it's for those very reasons why for everyone for
whom his name is anathema, there are an equal
number will avidly consume his every word. As For
Crying Out Loud: The World According to Clarkson,
Volume 3 forcefully reminds us, Clarksons must
venomous hatreds are reserved for political
correctness, and his conducting of a one-man war
on crimes against common sense has made him an
unlikely hero for many, who husband their opinions
with much greater care. Clarkson continues to be
driven into a frenzy by a great variety of things
that impinge on his consciousness, and his
splenetic responses are immensely
entertaining.What is the matter with people these
days? If you've ever wondered that, youll find a
hundred answers in this book, along with a
discussion of why binge drinking is good for you,
the difficult task of drumming in middle age (and,
allied to this, the secret of eternal youth). Oh
yes -- and America. Don't get Jeremy Clarkson
started on America (in fact, it's too late you'll
find some pithy observations on the States within
these pages that are likely to make quite a few
people's blood temperatures rise). Ironically, if
we were to get stuck behind a taxi driver who
harangued us like Jeremy Clarkson, wed be praying
for a short journey.  So why is it that For Crying
Out Loud  is so disgracefully entertaining?
Perhaps it is because Clarkson -- when he is away
from his beloved (and slightly boring) cars -- is
immensely articulate at voicing his enthusiasms
and pet hatreds (more of the latter than the
former, it has to be admitted). One warning should
accompany the book, though -- if you give it as a
present to a loved one, be prepared to have great
chunks read out loud ad infinitum (and perhaps ad
nauseam) along the lines of Listen to what
Clarkson says about X or Y! Boy, has he got this
right! You might not want to share a taxi journey
with Jeremy Clarkson, but reading his books are a
whole different experience -- and, who knows, you
might just end up agreeing with him. --Barry
Forshaw

Foxes and environmentalists in the headlights

Advantages: Funny in places
Disadvantages: Lacks consistency

...aware of Jeremy Clarkson through the excellent TV programme Top Gear, a show that is not just for petrol heads as it is also one of the funniest programmes on TV as well given some of the stunts and challenges they do. In the show he is the arrogant, opinionated alpha male with a hearty dislike of Europe, foxes, anything environmentally friendly and French cars. Oh and political correctness. In addition to his TV work he also writes a newspaper column ...
...
Apart from the toilet reading on offer at my sister house this was the first Clarkson book that I have read and I was interested to see if the humour generated on Top Gear could be translated into the written word. The book itself is made up of a series of short, two or three page, rants or observations on a myriad of topics that stretch from the opening page discussion of an additional public holiday to such varied topics as the joys of ... more

Value for money

No Interest In Cars Necessary

Advantages: Humour covering a wide range of subjects.
Disadvantages: Some of the topical humour dates quickly.

...people who are interested in the latest developments in cars will know this author, Jeremy Clarkson, from watching his BBC2 programme Top Gear. My only interest in cars is that I like them to get me about in reasonable comfort, so I have only seen snippets of the Top Gear programme when other people in my house have been watching it. Similarly, because of my lack of interest in how cars and other machines work, I haven't read any other of Clarkson's ...
...sometimes unsure if some of the things he wrote were serious, or if it were all in jest. Seeing his deadpan face while he was insulting the live audience didn't help me decide whether he was being deliberately rude or making a joke, but as the audience, including the victims of his jokes, were laughing, I guess they took his ridicule as a good bit of fun. The BBC web site says that on Top Gear, "Clarkson is more than capable of reducing car manufacturers ...

Review of The World According to Clarkson - Jeremy Clarkson

It's His World And He Wants To Tell Us About It

Advantages: An interesting compelation of his articles from 2001 - 2003
Disadvantages: A few repeated issues and not much structure

Over the last few years or so I have become quite big fan of Top Gear and in particular Jeremy Clarkson. I'd previously read one of his other books, I Know You've Got Soul, so when I came across The World According To Clarkson it was inevitable I was going to read that as well. I've read a number of Clarkson's newspaper columns in the Sun but hadn't really seen much from his days with the Times. This book gave me the opportunity to put that right ...
...Sunday Times articles. The articles cover a period from January 2001 till December 2003, but it isn't every weeks articles. There are massive jumps and in total there are 81 weeks worth of articles in the book and they all cover a vast array of subjects. Now as someone who doesn't regularly read the Sunday Times this was all new to me and in a way was acceptable as original material. If however I'd been a Times reader or if indeed you are then this ...

Review of The World According to Clarkson - Jeremy Clarkson

"Save The Turtles, Put Adverts On Their Backs"

Advantages: Witty, entertaining and an all round good read.
Disadvantages: None that I noticed

...has written columns for both the Sunday Times and The Sun. 'The World According To Clarkson' is a collection of his columns from 2001 to 2003. Written for the Sunday Times the book follows Jeremy as he writes from various countries across Europe and the world on subjects that range from the British weather, to why he'd like to be a German, to why he shouldn't be allowed to look after his kids. Clarkson's style of writing is easy to read, at the same ...
...There's a few moments in the book that some people may find controversial. For example, some people may completely disagree with his views of Mandela, but you've got to hand it to the man, he knows what he's talking about and he puts his point across very well without being offensive. Clearly an intelligent man with what I would call a lot of common sense, I found myself agreeing with a lot of the opinions and ideas he presents. I don't know whether ...

Review of The World According to Clarkson - Jeremy Clarkson

A laugh a minute

Advantages: Funny, easy to read because of short stories rather than whole book
Disadvantages: Not long enough!

...hate him. Personally I think the guy is brilliant and this book shows just how good he can be. I have been a fan of Clarkson on the TV in his Top Gear role for a long time and I own most of his videos. I was unsure whether his humour would work written in a book becuase his accent on words and his comical deadpan face help. However I was wrong to be worried. In this book Clarkson covers various subjects with his musings, wild descriptions and strong ...
...very toungue in cheek. The book is set into short stories which are about 2-3 pages long and take about 5-10 minutes to read so it is easy to pick up and put down without fear of losing the plot of the book. However, I was hooked on this book and couldn't put it down it had me crying with laughter. This book does contain a few references to cars but many more references to non-car related topics. You do not have to be a fan of cars to enjoy this ...

The World According To Clarkson

Advantages: A hilarious take on the world
Disadvantages: Disadvantages??!

...Jeremy Clarkson's weekly column in the Sunday Times from the beginning of 2001 through to the end of 2003. ...Oh, and don't think just because it's Clarkson that's it filled with merry quips on cars, cars and more cars...it's not, so don't be deterred, and even those that love his work with BBC's Top Gear, you'll want to read on too... As the blurb on the back of the books states, "Clarkson has seen rather more of the world than most..." but with ...
...Got News For You? All the way through to sitting in his garden through the night with an air rifle, trying to out wit a sly, anonymous fox......Yes, this kind of coverage could only come from a mind like Clarkson's!! Just in brief, and to give you guys a clear idea of what to expect, other stories involve cricket, Staffordshire, the Met Office, office parties, adaptors for plugs, PR people, Concorde, the circus and private schooling I personally, ...

Reviews which might be of interest for "The World According to Clarkson - Jeremy Clarkson"

Clarkson does it again!

Advantages: very funny book with some strong views
Disadvantages: a re-print of articles from the sunday times

Having read his first book 'The World According to Clarkson' and being an avid watcher of top gear, I felt obliged to read the second edition of Jeremy Clarksons book. I found the first book really enjoyable to read and extremely funny in parts and this book is the same. I especially like the fact that because it is simply a culmination of his articles written in his sunday times column, that you can read a few and then put the book down until you feel like going back to it again. I found it a great book to take to work when you have a few spare minutes during you're lunchbreak or something. The only quite irritating aspect of the book is that he has chosen to write it in a style which could be direct speech. By this I mean that as you read you can almost imagine Clarkson just saying the words and after a while thats exactly what ...

Review of And Another Thing: The World According to Clarkson: v. 2 - Jeremy Clarkson

Laugh out loud at Clarkson

Advantages: Hilarious, Girls can read it too!! Frank!
Disadvantages: Not for Piers Morgan fans

Now, I must admit I quite like most books and will give anything the benefit of a few chapters but when I spotted Jeremy Clarkson's - 'The World According to Clarkson Volume Two And Another Thing' lying on my stepdads bedside table I didn't really think a book written by a car fanatic would appeal to me - a female teenager. Open minded I picked up the book knowing if I liked it, it would be read and returned before my stepdad even noticed it had gone. The book contains a series of short 'stories' or rather 'rants' (as I like to call them) about the world and life from his Sunday times column. The first title, 'I'm a nobody, my jet-set credit card tells me so' baffled me a bit, what a weird title I thought! He must be a bonkers car lover. 10 'rants' later I was well into Clarkson's book and laughing a lot along the way. The book is ...

Review of And Another Thing: The World According to Clarkson: v. 2 - Jeremy Clarkson

FOR CYING OUT LOUD please stop

Advantages: It can be funny and we know the Clarksons' pocket are being filled
Disadvantages: A book about a middle aged man ranting

I am a fan of Jeremy clarkson and admire him as a great television presenter and i vaue his view on cars but when it comes to books... You see I have read books by Jeremy clarkson and they were all well and good and i got a laugh out of them. The first World According To Clarkson was published in 2004 and it was a compilation of his columns that he wrote for the Sunday Times. It was a very enjoyable read and we got a humurous perspective of Jeremy Clarkson view of the world and how it sould be run. It was bonkers but relatable and I, as many others, thoroughly enjoyed it. Jeremy Clarkson sold millions of copes world wide and made a lot of money out of it. So it was fair enough he came out with the sequel which was another huge success but for me, it began to wear. He was for some reason just ranting at petty things which I had no care ...
