Rating: - Good god, this man is GOOOD!
Even though Clarkson himself says so ("Good God I love being middle class") the truth is much more inspiring and it's nice to see how modest he is. Truth is, he's actually working class but has come into a lot of money using his talents over the years.

If you want to see where the magic is, check out this literaly goliath!

Rating: - Excellent read for those quiet moments
Taken straight from The Sunday Times, this is a collection of articles written by Clarkson in 2004 and 2005. Herein lies a problem, these articles are already at least 3 years old, meaning that the topical subject matter is rarely that topical any more.

Having said that, it is recent enough for the average reader to recall the subject matter, and perhaps have a wry grin because (a) things have turned out exactly as JC said they would, or (b) things have turned out exactly the opposite ... Read More

Rating: - Funny and Clever
The thing about Mr. Clarkson is that people label him a yob because he is loud, aggressive and opinionated. So far, so yob.

Rating: - More of the same
If you liked the first book, you're probably going to like this one too. Clarkson writes well, he is amusing and entertaining and provided you can see past his often boorish style, you have to acknowledge that a lot of what he says albeit often in an exaggerated and light-hearted style is actually very true. He is a bemused observer in a peculiar country at a peculiar moment in history, one in which we are no longer allowed to do certain things because some other people think it might be bad for us ...

Rating: - Tells it like it is
I loved the first of Clarkson's books and this is almost as good. As with his on screen persona he doesn't pull any punches and the plain speaking makes for a great read.

The style of the book makes it ideal for dipping in and out of and it's a perfect book to read on journeys when you don't have time to get into something longer.
