Awful awful book. I don't need a "recipe book" that tells me how to create different varieties of veggie burger from pre-bought patties!!
But I don't know what I expected really after reading the first one!
I would recommend avoiding this book like the plague and going for something like Vegan with a Vengeance, La Dolce Vegan or Eat Drink & Be Vegan instead, for recipes that are actually worthwhile.

The two things I look for in a book are that they be:
i) funny
ii) short
Crap Cars has each of these attributes in spades, so I loved it. To be honest, it's too short (hence only 4 stars); I read the whole thing in under an hour. But the fact that I read it cover-to-cover in one sitting must tell you something about how entertained I was by it.
It's bleedin' hilarious.

Very amusing book showing extreme examples of poor cycle facilities.
Sadly if you cycle in British cities regularly you will have come across cycle paths along similar lines where local authority transport departments have not consulted cyclists, tried to save money or added in cycle facilities as an afterthought. This book could be distributed to local authority officials and councillors as an example of what to avoid as it details all the main problems.
Only slight annoying thing about the book is the American spelling used

a few clever snippets, a few good quotes, I've read around so I see a lot of "been done before" stuff, for me the title is still the most memorable bit. I really like the title!

Mark Watson might be preaching to the converted as far as I am concerned, being as I am already a green writer and campaigner. That aside I would have no trouble giving this book to my less than green friends or relatives.
Even I learnt a thing or two from this book, well to put it another way I was re-told a thing or two I had conveniently forgotten. Such as methane being 25 times more damaging than co2, making me drastically consider my cheese intake.
The book might not be as high energy as some of Watson's stand up but it is a bloody book. It is however funny, light hearted and has the feel of chatting in the park rather than being preached at.

This is a well written and humorous look at England's best supported team's darkest hours or indeed, months. I'm just about old enough to remember Manchester United getting relegated and as a Liverpool fan I enjoyed the couple of pages devoted to their annus horiblis. Liverpool are there, of course too along with the four Home Nations poorest seasons. In fact some teams make the book twice, but I won't spoil it for you by telling which ones they are. The text is well researched and a picture accompanies each entry. The layout looks a little cheap, but over all I found it an enjoiyable and funny little book. Great to dip in to when you have a few minutes to yourself.

Do you use MSN? Ever struggle when you're thinking of an online name for yourself? Well, some of the quotes in this book could fill in the gap and give you a name worthy of a chuckle. But to be honest, that's probably the only useful thing about this book. You read it once, then pass it on to someone else. And that's it.
