Product Description

Daily Mirror

'A dazzling hero of political incorrectness.'
--This text refers to the Hardcover edition.


Product Description

There's more to life than cars. Jeremy Clarkson knows this. There is, after all a whole world out there just waiting to be discovered. So, before, he gets on to torque steer and active suspension, he takes time to consider: the madness of Galapagos tortoises; the similarities between Jeremy Paxman and AC/DC's bass guitarist; the problems and perils of being English; God's dumbest creation. Then there are the the cars: whether it's the poxiest little runabout or an exotic, firebreathing supercar, no one does cars like Clarkson. Unmoved by mechanics' claims and unimpressed by press junkets, he approaches anything on four wheels without fear or favour. What emerges from the ashes is rarely pretty. But always very, very funny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Humour is the new black, 6 Nov 2007
By In shock and awe right now (Not sure--it's still early) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Don't Stop Me Now (Hardcover)
Lately I've been searching for any and everything to make me laugh. Would you? Look at the general world conditions. At any rate, DON'T STOP ME NOW was it. On the same par as the works of David Sedaris (Me Talk Pretty) or Jackson McCrae (Katzenjammer) this is an irreverant work of political non-correctness that is bound to shock some. And a hint: if you're worried it all going to be about cars, don't. It's not. It's about any and everything from the demise of the British Empire to tortoises. And somehow it all works. Don't get me wrong, if you're into the car thing this book will work for you, but the genius of it lies in the fact that anyone can read and appreciate Jeremy Clarkson's humour. If you liked McCrae's "Katzenjammer" and Tom Robbins "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues," then you'll appreciate this book. Also, if you like the "Far Side" cartoons, this one is for you, sort of. Cheers!

5.0 out of 5 stars Ignore the first review, 2 Oct 2007
By May Hemer "Inky" (Lancashire, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Don't Stop Me Now (Hardcover)
I suggest you have a look at Mr Walton's other reviews before making your mind up on the validity of the one for Jeremy's new book. He criticises Jeremy Clarkson and then gives 5 stars to that fairy story, The Da Vinci Code and also has given 5 stars to an album by David Hasselhoff. Obviously a man of great taste.

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect toilet book!!, 13 Nov 2007
By Mr. D. Bell "Dan Bell" (Northampton, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Don't Stop Me Now (Hardcover)
I'm trying work out whether Clarkson is a genius or a con artist. Probably a bit of both. Why do I say this? Well, this is another in a long line of books which is compiled entirely of pages he has previously had published in various newspapers. This particular book is from his car reviews and covers everything from a Hyundai Accent, to the Bugatti Veyron and all types/makes in between. As usual it is very funny.

The more I think about it the guy is a genius for getting paid twice for writing one story. Which ever way you look at it though, his books are the perfect toilet accompaniment. Whether you like a quick dump, or prefer a longer stay, the chapters are only four pages each and will suit all trips to the loo. This will make the perfect present for any man this Christmas.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good book but can be a little repetitive

5.0 out of 5 stars Car reviews that are laugh out loud!

Jezza's dedication, above, is a little unfair, in that he and the redoubtable Mr "two-jags" Prescott at least share a passion for cars. Read more
