i picked it up because i wanted to get out of my usual taste and explore some new genres- comedy, for example. expecting it to be funny, i took it home with me when i got to know of a comedian Jack Dee. i watched his shows (sucked. okay, average, but old) and read his biography alongside. lots of short jokes, anecdotes and comments on various things we see daily but never notice. but, i was merely smiling than laughing. all in all, a quick read, valuable lessons, picking up on people and things he hates but at times i felt like,"oh god ! when will it finish?" This book had me laughing out from the sleeve notes and throughout which made so very enjoyable and quite sad when I finished it. If like me you enjoy Jack Dee's stand up routine and his sitcom series Lead Balloon, you will love this book. It was written in the same style as his routine and reminded me quite often of the Rick Spleen the character he plays in Lead Balloon. It was interesting to read about his life and made a pleasant change to read about someone normal who struggled to find his place in the world, rather than a lot of celebrities who 'fall on their feet' because of the connections they have.
What do You think about Thanks For Nothing (2009)?
This is so jack dee. It is very,very funny indeed. It's a must for any fan.
