The World According to Clarkson

US: Penguin, 2005. Paperback. Good. Jeremy Clarkson shares his opinions on just about everything in The World A ccording to Clarkson. Jeremy Clarkson has seen rather more of the world tha n most. He has, as they say, been around a bit. And as a result, he's got o ne or two things to tell us about how it all works; and being Jeremy Clarks on he's not about to voice them quietly, humbly, and without great dollops of humor. In The World According to Clarkson, he reveals why it is that too much science is bad for our health, 1970s rock music is nothing to be asha med of, hunting foxes while drunk and wearing night-sights is neither big n or clever, we must work harder to get rid of cricket, and that he likes the Germans (well, sometimes). With a strong dose of common sense that is rare ly, if ever, found inside the M25, Clarkson hilariously attacks the pompous , the ridiculous, the absurd, and the downright idiotic, while also celebra ting the eccentric, the clever, and the sheer bloody brilliant. Less a mani festo for living and more a road map to modern life, The World According to Clarkson is the funniest book you'll read this year. Don't leave home with out it. The World According to Clarkson is a hilarious collection of Jeremy 's Sunday Times columns and the first in his The World According to Clarkso n series which also includes And Another Thing; For Crying Out Loud! and Ho w Hard Can It Be?
