Having only seen Rodney briefly in movies or brief appearances, I wondered what I was missing out on.
It is written in a casual style, with the text quite spaced out - making the chapters go by quickly. The detail is sometimes sketchy and many of the events/people mentioned are largely unknown to me as a Briton. However, this is never a problem because - and for me this was the best part of the book - there is a Rodney joke on almost every page.
This book made me more of a fan of Rodney and I highly recommend it.
