Product Description
Charlie Brooker
If I was in power, I'd issue every citizen a copy, and command them to read it. At gunpoint.
The Sunday Telegraph
If you wince at the word 'benchmark', this neat parody could be just the thing to cheer you up.

Brilliant,
By reckless_rik "reckless_rik" (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Britain: What a State: A User's Guide to Life in the UK (Hardcover)
Sir Edward Bicycle is a regular on the b3ta.com web site, and often posts the sort of materials that have been lovingly (?) collected in this great book. The book is witty, sarcastic, and very funny - especially for those of us who believe Britain is in a terrible bureaucratic mess. It also makes great toilet reading!

Perfect present for anyone,

This review is from: Britain: What a State: A User's Guide to Life in the UK (Hardcover)
It's such a cliche to say that something is the perfect present - but having given this to numerous people now without fail, I really think it is.The book presumes a level of cynicism with the government and level of sickness with bureaucracy - but I seriously can't imagine any demographic that doesn't have that. Besides that I can see the book appealing to all, right or left. The book (and accompanying website) had me crying with laughter and - like with all comedy gigs - it's hard to explain what was funny afterwards or to remember the jokes. I wish I could :)

Excellent, very funny.,

This review is from: Britain: What a State: A User's Guide to Life in the UK (Hardcover)
If you like wacky humour with a wicked satirical style, you'll love this book. I was reading it on the train to London the day it came out and was getting very odd looks from the people in the same carriage as I was laughing out loud at most of the items. It's a nice one to read in bits and is a bueatifully bound and presented book perfectly capturing the style of Ian's website but with fresh new material. Ok there are a few repeats from his website, but nothing like as many as I was expecting.All in all, worth every penny of £6. Buy copies for all your relatives and friends for Christmas or upcoming birthdays, they'll love it!
