A welcome drop in price... - By: Shining Light, 17 Nov 2008 
Good to see the price of this book plummeting.....the bargin bin is where it belongs.
Still in top gear! - By: J. Paterson, 13 Nov 2008 
I can't believe the franchise has reached volume 3 already! 'For Crying Out Loud' picks up where 'And Another Thing' left off. And I must say it is vintage Clarkson, ranting on all the usual subjects & more.
I can't say I agree with everything he says (in fact sometimes quite the opposite), but this is his genius - he has the ability to make you laugh even if you don't share his opinions. He even finds time to take the mickey out of himself!
This book will be on many a Christmas list & rightly so... Clarkson remains the king of the genre. That said, Grumpy Old Rockstar: & Other Wonderous Stories: And Other Wonderous Stories by Rick Wakeman is a brilliant read if music is your thing, while Modern Football Is Rubbish: An A-Z of All That Is Wrong with the Beautiful Game by Nick Davidson & Shaun Hunt is the funniest thing I've readin ages - ideal for the grumpy old football fanin your life.
In the age of the credit-crunch Clarkson's latest effort... delivers belly-laughs a plenty for a bargain price!
Amazing, yet again! - By: James Soffe, 28 Oct 2008 Clarkson continues with some more hilarious & brilliantly British writing. I originally bought one for myself & then bought another two for friends' presents! No doubt they will enjoy reading it as much as I have.
Well done Clarkson.
Beetroot! - By: Big John, 24 Oct 2008 Clarkson has a delightful wit & uses the English language with brilliance. His vocabulary & delivery of punchlines is superb. This then is a well crafted book written by a man at the top of his game. As always do not expect to agree with him on everything, his dislike of Americans, Surrey & cats hits my buttons. So does his support of fox hunting a subject I could have a blazing row with him about! Some of his chapters are self mocking & this is his forgiveness moment. This is when the true depth of the man appears & you can forgive the views you disagree with.It isin these chapters that he proves he is as human as you or I, & that is a significant part of why you should read this book. I particularly liked the beetroot moment, haven't we all done that! The world would be a sad place if we did not hold different opinions.So if you are of a leftie inclination you will hate this book passionately as this book is far closer to how most of us feel about the leftie polices we have been forced to endure for some years now. Indeed Clarkson is able to send up anyone of a leftie persuasion with aplomb. Reading this book now, his comments from 2006 & 2007 are very poignant too. It is only at the end that "recession" is begining to loom. I found myself laughing out loud at most of the book, so I rate is one of the most enjoyable reads I have had for some time. In fact I devoured itin more or less one sitting so had to re read it. It was every bit as good second time round! Buy & enjoy, or give it to someone you know who will enjoy it! This kind of brilliance is not often found!
same old clarkson - By: Mr. D. J. Williams, 24 Oct 2008 I was looking forward to reading this book as I have always been a Top Gear fan .What a disappointment. Clarkson has nothing new to say.He spouts the same unoriginal cliches he has produced before.Stick to car reviews Jeremy & leave the politics alone.
