Product Description

Review
"'Our national genius is knocking things down.' Jim White, Daily Telegraph"

Product Description
From inner city poverty to self-satisfied middle England, from the dull and the lifeless to the ugly and the depressing, Dan Kieran and Sam Jordison are back with a brand new list of towns - and this time it's personal. Inspired by the success of the contentious survey, published in the Idler and in book form in Boxtree's smash hit Crap Towns, residents of the original 50 towns, along with plenty of new towns will have their say in Crap Towns II: To Hull and Back on why Britain isn't just the place of warm beer, cosy bed and breakfasts and amiable old gits that some travel books would have us believe. This brand new list of 50 towns will include new entries, non-movers and a new number one based on the public's reaction to the burnt out cars, shell suits, cheap shoe shops and housing estates patrolled by rabid dogs and feral kids that scar the face of this glorious kingdom. Are the disgruntled residents of Hull right to consider their town the worst place to live in the country? Crap Towns II will find out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious!, 1 Jan 2005
I found this book so funny that I don't really care if it is accurate or not. The burning sofa incident in Sunderland made me wet myself. The slating of my own town (Bedford) was also brilliant(and a little tragic).I have never met anyone who actually raves about where they live which is just as well because a book praising places would be quite dull. This isnt.

5.0 out of 5 stars hilarious, 2 Nov 2004
I like this almost more than the first one. It's probably funnier and some of the facts about the towns (not to mention HRH the Queen, famous resident of Windsor) are just incredible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fame at last, 19 Nov 2004
By Mr. K. Whalen "Keith Whalen" (Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A friend rang me to ask if I new any stories about 'burning sofas', when I told him I did and asked him how he knew. It turned out that he was calling from a bookshop and had found my story describing how crap Sunderland was in the Crap Towns II Book. So I purchased the book and haven't stopped laughing since. Believe me knowing Sunderland the contributors have got it spot-on and if the tails about the other towns are true then it could be an invaluable guide.
