Can You Make This Thing Go Faster?

Product Information

I didn’t finish this book because what I did read was rude, curt and judgemental rantings which weren’t even funny or amusing.

As do his books in which he discusses the virtues, and lack of, relative to cars that in the main I’ve never even heard of. It’s a good book to recap all the news stories over the last 2 years with short references to Top Gear, Grand Tour and the latest Clarksons Farm. I had zero knowledge of it when I started, which is why I had a hard time with some of the chapters. Spread over three hundred and eight pages, each section runs to only three and a half pages, around one thousand to eleven hundred words.Some of the columns are outright funny; others sarcastic; and others containing a bit of political commentary with occassional humor, or snark, or just outright dismay.

For the most part I like Clarkson's more outrageous takes but our personal politics clearly don't align! I don't agree with every opinion of his big that's the point, it's a book for people who can get on with people they don't share all their opinions with. Whether you love or hate the guy, however, you surely have to appreciate his writing style, which simply makes for an enjoyable read. Jeremy Clarkson’s sense of humour may not be to everyone’s taste these days, but as a tight-arsed, grumpy Scotsman with short arms and long pockets, I firmly believe everyone should be able to laugh at themselves above and before anything else.everyone is entitled to their own opinion but so often we feel unable to voice our views for fear of backlash from others. Jeremy hates them just as much as I do, and using the quote from Good Morning Vietnam about them cracked me up. I think this is an excellent choice to keep candid information out of the public eye, but I know from reading the news that he had a lot going on in his personal life, and it would have been interesting to get the details from the source.

This book contains his columns until about the beginning of the chinavirus epidemic, and is all about farming, and everything else.When you come to the end of a box set that you’ve really loved, it’s like coming to the end of a long term relationship. The writing style is very much like his presentation style on TV, with a bit of colloquial British English thrown in. Even though I gave the book only 3 stars I did really enjoy it…but like others have written it is just clips from his newspaper articles over a 2ish year period.
