My Robin Cooper book, The Timewaster Diaries, arrived on time, probably in good condition. However, the packaging had been booby-trapped by inclusion of an unseen and unnecessary partially-inserted staple, upon which I inadvertently stabbed myself, resulting in copious bleeding over the package and contents.
After my discharge from A+E, I returned home reflecting on how narrowly I had escaped death.
I have now added a codicil to my will that my precious blood-stained book be placed in my sarcophagus when my time comes.

Another hysterically funny book by Robin Cooper. With some of the best illustrations you will ever find in a book.
It had me in stitches, after falling off my chair laughing and cutting my head open.
(Accidentally, not as a result of self- harming)
I even did a small wee!
This was nothing to do with weak bladder control - but because I laughed so much.
If you don't find this book funny, then I pity any one who knows you & your milkman- as it's a dying industry
and suggest you ask some one to cut the corners off your sandwiches.

The best diary since The Diary of Adrian Mole was the Diary of a London Call Girl. Until Robin Cooper came along. In much the same vein as these first two (although funnier, less sexy, and less spotty) Robin gives us an insight into his humdrum dum-ti-dum and hilarious life (and wife).
Firstly, read 'The Timewaster Letters'. If it made you laugh....
...then read 'The Return of the Timewaster Letters'. If this still made you laugh....
...then make sure are you sitting comfortably, and read 'The Timewaster Diaries'.
Now laugh again. A lot. Unless you have no sense of humour.
Read them in that order. I've spent hours thinking about how to give this advice, and this is the best I can do. In fact, I can do no better; not with my wife's ankle how it is.

Bought as a present, pleased with book and arrived on time. Personally not my cup of of tea but I think a good choice for the recipient.

Totally hilarious. One of the funniest books I've ever read. The hapless Mr Cooper is endlessly entertaining.

I'm a huge fan of Robin Coopers letters, as I'm sure everyone is, but whereas you'd find yourself laughing a few times every page with those I'm not sure if I laughed once at this book. Tedious. Avoid.

A very funny book, much in the same vein as the letters, but disappointingly few mentions of Parmanyu, My son (14) enjoyed it more than I did, take from that what you will. Cunningly left open for a follow up....
