Book Reviews of And Another Thing: The World According to Clarkson: v. 2
Book Review: Riled thing
Summary: 4 Stars
The first book that collected Jeremy Clarksons' columns for the Times, 'born to be riled', was well written and funny but it was also a bit patchy. Some articles were not up to much. With this new collection,(the 3rd ), we get to see a more mature and secure Clarkson, not everything has to shock and his arguments are better thought out and argued.
That's not to say that he's softened with time, in fact if anything his improved ability to argue his point makes him far sharper and those objects of his displeasure get a far more heated and professional roasting, and what a collection of twits and annoyances Mr Clarkson aims for, people who think their credit cards define them, parents who choose daft names for their sprogs, doom laden weather reports and of course the odd motoring referrance and more are all dealt with wit and worrying plausability. Added to this is a sense of middle age uneasiness that it's all gone a bit potty out there and can we please have some sanity back?
The articles are all pretty short so if one doesn't work for you there'll be another one along shortly.
Clarkson's getting better at his penmanship and this is easily his best work yet. If you're not a big fan of top gear or mr Clarksons' telly persona don't let that put you off, he is a witty and opinionated writer who will either have you nodding with agreement or snorting in derision at his view of the world, either way he engages the mind and has a knack of entertaining even when putting forward totally crackpot ideas. You certainly wont be bored.
