You're better off squirting bleach in your eyes.

As dull a collection of words as have ever been strung together to disgrace the English language.
Michael Howard said in his thankfully doomed bid to run the country that "it's not racist to talk about imigration." Balls in his case, but it made me think...
"IT'S NOT ANTI SEMITIC TO HATE DAVID BADDIEL." In fact it's your civic duty to hate the whining little ****.
This is a lame book for lame donkeys. And if you enjoyed it, you could do a lot worse than absenting yourself from the human race. I'm told paraquat works well.

Time For Bed

This was OK, but not a patch on Whatever Love Means. On the positive side, it is quite funny in places (I loved Gabriel's dad) but on the other, the characters are not very convincing. I particularly didn't buy the story of the flat mate. It also read as though it was a semi autobiography and/or stand up routine - you could certainly hear David Baddiel's voice throughout. Worth a quick read, just don't expect too much.

Funny but not a great tale

I laughed out loud at least five times (v. good).
The story itself isn't that enthralling (not so good). There's no real ending as such.
That's it.

A great surprise

I hadn't really thought of reading a book by someone who is in essence a TV star but I was bought this for Christmas a few years back and thoroughly enjoyed it. It has some very dark humour and is one of the few books to make me laugh out loud. Okay, it's perhaps not a highbrow classic but who says literature has to be? Take it for what it is:- an intelligent, damnably funny and well written yarn which is certain to appeal to all readers.

Side Splitting

I was a little dubious about this read, Id always been more of a Skinner than Baddiel fan. My views have changed! I laughed on ever turn of the page with this book and can say it's the funniest thing I ever read. The explicit content (which had me laughing my head off) means I would recommend this to everyone except my own family members. They'd be too embarrassed at some of the content. I LOVED it!
Brilliant.
