No, it's just this book that's s**t

This book is a miserable, humourless grumble about things that are perhaps moderately irritating in the unlikely event you stop to think about them. It failed to interest the 15-year old it was bought for, though it was certainly not above her intellectual level.
I don't give one star lightly, and I usually try to inject a bit of humour into reviews. But this time I've written in in the style of the book I'm reviewing. So, if you enjoyed this review and would like to read a couple of hundred pages of similar mithering, then buy the book. You're welcome to it.
Utterrly joyless.

Maybe I'm easily pleased but I liked it

Ok, so it wasn't as good as the first but it still made me chuckle on holiday and there's not many books I can say that about. An easy to pick up and put down book which you can revisit at any time. Will there be a third though given some of the reviews?

Is it just me or was this totally rubbish

Loved volume 1, laughed nearly every page. Hate volume 2, no laughs on any page. A worse sequal than Ocean's 12! Noticeably more lefty too. AVOID AVOID

Not a patch on the original

Satire is much better when delivered in short bursts. Volume I was great because it had a lot of short punchy entries. This volume gives you the impression that they did not leave themselves enough subjects to cover so had to go on at way too much length on each one to fill the pages. The 4 page entry on China is worthy but not what I was looking for in a book like this.

Is it just me or...

... is this book nowhere near as good as the original? The first had me laughing out loud. This time I laughed three or four times, at most. Sorry guys, but it reads like it was bashed out in a couple of weeks.
