About this ebook

Richard Ayoade - in this foren, perhaps one of the most 'insubstantial' people of our age, takes us on a journey from Peckham to Paris by way of Nevada and other places we don't care about. It's a journey deep within, in a way that's respectful and non-invasive; a journey for which we will all pay a heavy price, even if you've waited for the smaller paperback edition.
Ayoade argues for the canonisation of this brutal masterpiece, a film that celebrates capitalism in all its victimless glory; one we might imagine Donald Trump himself half-watching on his private jet's gold-plated flat screen while his other puffy eye scans the cabin for fresh, young prey."

Ratings and reviews

Maybe I am simply too simple for this book. I personally do not wish, with every 10th paragraph, that I must flip to footnotes to decipher the author's private anecdotes. The read wasn't complicated as much as simply exhausting. I don't wish to have to work so hard for an opinion piece. Yes, it's funny and clever but I feel bruised and beaten from the author's attempts to remind me so very often just how funny and clever he is.

Cleverly written, just hilarious!

Very funny
