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.

number one podcast -- with additional musings and original drawings by Karl Pilkington the show's unlikely star. Karl Pilkington the Confucian like savant of the Ricky Gervais Podcast show has led an extraordinary and curiously individual life. As a kid growing up in Manchester he regularly missed school to accompany his parents on caravanning holidays and left without collecting his exam results: his family weaned him well. His father once crashed a train into Manchester Central Station his mother shaved one of their cats after it kept being sick and his uncle slept in a dinghy instead of a bed -- genes some acolytes say which have contributed to his cryptic views on life. Pilkington's is a brilliant mind locked inside a perfectly round head and uncluttered by the unhelpful constraints of logic or common sense; factors that have lead him to such dazzling insights as 'you never see old men eating Twix bars' or that the 'Diary of Anne Frank' was 'an Adrian Mole sort of thing'.In this pithy and hilarious book Karl is in conversation with (the often bewildered) Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant the writers and stars of 'The Office' and 'Extras' outwitting even these comedy Goliaths with his take on such contentious issues as charity the lack of Chinese homeless people reincarnation the rights of monkeys and favourite superpowers.Featuring Karl's original illustrations imaginative scribblings and the best conversations of the first twelve podcasts this is a unique trip into the world of one of our most innovative thinkers visionaries and prophets or as Gervais and Merchant know him 'the funniest man alive in Britain today'.

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.

Added to the transcripts are amusing illustrations as well as diary extracts from Karl.
The true genius behind Karl Pilkington is that behind every silly thing he says, there is a twisted logic. The book captures that very effectively.
The book is fantastic to read for a largely irrelevent but hilarious view on life.
Advantages: Incredibly funny stories with some good pictures to back it up Disadvantages: There aren't any... I wanted more!!!
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. As well as transcripts Karl has included more material and drawn his own pictures. The book features the fantastic monkey news and covers so many topics of discussion.
When I read the book, I had already heard all the podcasts, but I still found the nonsense to be absolutely hilarious. ... ...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 ...
