Customer Reviews

Great fun for the idiots amongst us! - By: D. Moore, 10 Nov 2008
I was quite latein joining the world of Podcasting as a fan. My first introduction was The Ricky Gervais Show & within minutes realised the funniest thing about it wasn't Gervais himself but so Manc producer by the name of Karl Pilkington.

This guy is such an idiot, i honestly can't believe anyone could be so stupid. I bought every series & enjoyed them all, constantly mesmerised by the ramblings of a mad man. I heard the guys mention Karl had written some books & decided to buy them.

Happyslapped & Karlology aren't great but i throughly enjoyed this one. Its more seperated from the Podcasts & feels alot fresher. He refers several times to stuff already heard but most of it is new stupidness backed up by funny little quotes & stats.

If you like readingin bed or evenin the bath & don't want anything to intense then get this. It will cheer you up & put a smile on your face & therefore does what it intends to.
Disappointing. - By: G. Bunch, 06 Nov 2008
I am a big fan of karl pilkington but this book was slightly disappointing. There is very little original content & 90% of the book is just transcripts from the podcasts, therefore, if you have ever listened to the podcast you will find yourself just flicking through pages.

If you have not read karls other books i would advise buying them instead of this one, if you have not listened to the podcast i would advise listening to them first & then if you have not had enough buy this book. The content is top notch it is just mostly unoriginal, a full diary would have been a million times better imo!
Scripts Of The Podcasts - By: Sid Roberts, 21 Sep 2008
First thing's first: this book is basically scripts of the podcasts. It does have a few cooky drawings & a slither of new content but, for the most part, if you've heard the podcasts, then you've heard this book.

"Happyslapped by a Jellyfish" is much, much better (and cheaper!).
Infinite monkeys and the game of swingball - By: Mr. D. J. J. Daniels, 15 Apr 2008
In this book, Karl goes some way to prove Ricky's theory that monkeys can indeed create true works of literary greatness, whilst being hampered by an orange shaped head.
Mr K. Dilkington - By: Me D. G. Ellis, 13 Apr 2008
Karl Dilkington has the worlds roundest head, i mean it, you put karls head next to an orange, & you get confused which is which! The answer is easily found when you ask both a simple question. The orange shows more intelligence than the balding Manc, who is likely to attempt to answer your question, but simply can't!
Its an excellent book written by someone who must have an IQ of about 6.
Also the shape of it goes perfectly on any bookshelf, unlike karls head which would just roll off & onto the floor.
