Product Description
Review
[The letters] display a mixture of gumption, brio and gleeful silliness that will make...readers snort in agreement. --The Daily Telegraph, December 2010
Product Description
Sir -I understand that the death of (sic) "Lee" Alexander McQueen could be seen as a major event in the shallow world of fashion. However, to allow your Hilary Alexander free rein to express such an amount of emotion over a chap who simply designed a few frocks is, as modern speech has it, simply "OTT". Sir - I have said this before, and I say it again; the BBC has got to stop its PC assault on the game of men's rugby by using so many rugby-ignorant female commentators. We talk beef, not salad dressing. What else will the Telegraph’s indefatigable, outraged, and above all very funny letter-writers fail to get the Letters Page to take seriously in 2010 – with the result that we have to collect their memorable missives in another book? Already there are enough fulminations on Chris Evans replacing Terry Wogan to fill an entire chapter. Gordon Brown’s temper? Bankers’ bonuses? E-books? The state of Ashley and Cheryl Cole’s marriage? One thing is for sure: the result will be the only review of the year you really need, a book to make Victor Meldrew look as pure as driven snow, and a handsome little volume to sell once again in its tens of thousands.

This is the follow up book compilation to last year`s edition of reader`s letters unpublished by the Daily Telegraph.
It is , apart from being great value for money , very very funny and the sort of reading you can pick up and put down at leisure whilst in the bath , on the loo or just killing a few minutes.
Some of the letters are odd , some just hilarious , some very opinionated or perceptive but all very readable and topical for the year just gone. Having read mine , I have passed it on to my sister who also enjoys the humour of the Telegraph.
Great stocking filler and well worth the money !

This is the second of two books of unpublished letters to the Daily Telegraph. I've really enjoyed them both. There are some letters which are just humorous, some which lead up to a dreadful pun, and there are some that are so bigoted that it's difficult to believe that they have not been written in jest - but you fear they were not. It's a very easy read, and at times laugh-out-loud funny. A great book for yourself or as a gift.

I thought this might be boring as sequels often can be. But it is equally funny as the first part "Am I alone in thinking..?"

An excellent follow-on from "Am I alone..?" and hard to put down. Another candidate for the downstairs loo (that's good!) and it has clearly been carefully edited. Read more

If you like the letters in the Telegraph then you'll love this book. Don't lend it to anyone as you won't get it back.
p.s. My neighbour has a letter in it.
