Jeremy Clarkson’s style of writing seems very much a series of rants.   This ought to put me off but in fact I found myself swept along nodding furiously as I read, thinking that he really does grasp the average ordinary person’s outlook on life in a way politicians never seem to be able to do.  Why don’t people like him get into positions of influence where sensible majority thinking carries the day or at least leads to reasoned debate?   While he may be rather a bloke’s bloke and I imagine men would enjoy his writing perhaps more than women would, there is still a level of humour and the blindingly obvious about his style that I really liked.   As the book is divided into short chapters on varying subjects, it is a good book to read for short periods as there is no fear of ever losing the thread.  A good gift and one which would have something in it for everyone to have an opinion or counter opinion on.

Synopsis
