3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing for me 26 April 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I was rather disappointed by this book. It was very amusing in a few places, but I got the impression the author had trawled the internet for a series of unrelated 'quite interesting' facts and then just thrown them together into a book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cutler Does it again! 4 Oct 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
The Gentleman's Instant Genius Guide adds another very welcome title to Tom Cutler's growing list of funny books. I spent part of my weekend dipping into it, laughing at his jokes - well, most of them - and the twist he puts on the world. And I learned facts I didn't know, or didn't know I needed to know - many of which are actually useful. (Can't wait to try my hand at mixing and drinking a good Manhattan or trying out some of his fifty ways of becoming important. And as for his 'History of False teeth from the Etruscans onwards' - there must be something in that I can put to good use. I like his style too. It's very relaxed and reader friendly - much more like he's just bought you a drink and got one elbow on the bar than slogging away at a keyboard amidst piles of research notes.
They say humour doesn't travel, but this guy's reputation is international - Amazon is listing his earlier work in three languages other than English - so buy him and you can laugh with the world! I hope his list of titles continues to grow. Meanwhile I'll enjoy this latest addition and hope there's even more to come.

3.0 out of 5 stars I liked it 10 Aug 2012
Format:Hardcover
Given that this is obviously a book not to be taken seriously it was quite informative and laugh out loud entertaining in parts.
There were only two things that irked me - first, the abrupt ending (which seems to be common to just about every book these days) left me wanting some kind of overarching conclusion; and second the dissing of homeopathy, which anyone who uses it will tell you that for something that 'can't possibly work' it is nevertheless remarkably effective!
