5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, 2 Nov 2007

By	Pushpendra Rishi "Yumster" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Lost in Translation: Misadventures in English (Hardcover)

Was browsing in a bookshop and came across this book. After about 10 seconds i started getting some strange looks. Most people avoided me...

I was laughing like a mad man - this book is funny!

Only one woman plucked up the courage to ask me what i was laughing at. I showed her the book and she bought one then and there.

If you are looking for a present get this book, but I recommend you buy this book for yourself too.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is hilarious, I couldn't stop laughing!, 19 Oct 2006

By	Dotty May "May" (Sheffield) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lost in Translation: Misadventures in English (Hardcover)

I was given this book as a gift for my birthday and wasn't sure but it was really funny. So easy to read on the tube, but embarrasing because it made me laugh out loud!
