This is a fabulous, albeit mad, book, and one of the funniest things I have read in a long time. The Diary gives instructions for each day of 2004, and that can range from the sweet, to the ridiculous, to the downright outrageous. Diary users are encouraged to rap, to collapse a currency (this of course must be done in unison with all other Diary readers, otherwise won't work....clear instructions are given), to recognize their psychopathic tendencies, to spend a day doing everything left-handed, to approach strangers on the street and ask them to fill out a short form about what first impression the Diary owner has made on them, etc. etc. If Diary owners would truly follow the instructions, their life would change substantially (pretending to be a secret agent for a day may not, I presume, go down well with the boss...). Brilliant stuff, thoroughly recommended!

how did these guys get away with this, and what are they on??? this book asks you to shoplift, do a runner, collapse the currency of Bangladesh (phone number of central bank provided), kill insects within its pages and more... (is this strictly legal?) What it is, is basically a diary that directs your life for a year, with an instruction every day, all amazingly designed - you've got to see it. Very funny, and the most original thing i've read this year. Highly recommended!

I have never seen anything quite like this before in my life. It is the most amazing present that should be given to EVERYBODY at Xmas. Basically, Benrik have created not just a diary, but a cult that is sure to spread across the UK as more and more people become aware of this fabulous guide. It allows for your everyday doings but only if they coincide with what is prescribed for that day! From tatooing bananas to breaking laws (it's allowed with your trusty 'Above the Law' card); Benrik have created something very special here. My fave has to be January 3rd with a close runner up featured on my birthday when I have to propose to a total stranger. I've always been an atheist - maybe that's all about to change!

Why Does Amazon Print Put-Up 'reviews'
Are all the reviews printed 'hilarious' plants by 'hilarious' chums? 'Hilarious' seems to be the word they are all choosing - along with 'buy now'. Read more
