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. No other book will contain stories about flies and condoms, monkeys flying rockets and children with big heads and webbed feet.
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 and too loud from all the laughing.
