Hooked on Clarkson

I bought this book for my husband as a present, because he's a fan of Top Gear (U.K.)... well, we both are.

He enjoyed this book so much, we bought every other Jeremy Clarkson book, even the ones we had to order through Amazon's UK sellers.

I've enjoyed the Clarkson books, too. They might be best appreciated by people who've watched Top Gear. Mr. Clarkson's humor is extremely sarcastic and hyperbolic. Once you get past the idea that, no, he's not serious about the extreme things he says, this book (and others by him) are hilariously funny.

Some people will be offended. Mr. Clarkson isn't quite the polar opposite of "politically correct," but... well, he'd rank well if there were a competition for most outrageous comments.

I'm not sure that I'd recommend it as a light read for absolutely everyone. However, if you're a Top Gear (U.K.) fan, books in this series are a lot of fun, and they give a lot more insights into the stars of that show.

A funny book that’s still relevant

There is no other way to put it, Jeremy Clarkson is a bit of an ass. If you have the ability to look past his flaws, you can appreciate his viewpoint. I began following Jeremy because of his work on Top Gear. For Crying Out Loud highlighted several of his newspaper rants and it generally developed a story of a person who had a singular mission. He wanted to make the world a better place through humor. It is kind of hard to believe this, but it is kind of true. For Crying Out Loud makes this point well. It is funny, chaotic and bombastic. At times I agreed with his rants and at times not. Overall, it was a good read and I actually got a lot out of this book.
