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.

Having enjoyed The Gentleman's Bedside Book so much I was expecting a lot from The Gentleman's Instant Genius Guide and I wasn't disappointed. The book is presented in four main sections, including how-tos and what the author calls the 'Genius's World of Knowledge'. In these sections you get a riot of diverse and laugh-out-loud material, accompanied by some terrific illustrations. Many pieces sound as if they are from self-help books: 'How to become rich and famous', or 'How to seduce a woman' but though they are useful they are also ironic, pulling the leg of po-faced self improvement books. This is a real lucky dip of very funny stuff. 'Sincerity and how to fake it' made me laugh till the tears ran down my face. Top-rate entertainment.

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.
Listmania!
