The World according to Clarkson

Book Review by: John Martin    

Original Author: Jeremy Clarkson
Jeremy Clarkson is England's favourite eternal teenage boy. Presenter of BBC TV's 'Top Gear' - a popular review of fast cars
and parody of slow ones - Jeremy Clarkson has also written a weekly column in The Sunday Times for a number of years.
His view of the world is quirky, anarchic and very funny. Endearingly seeing almost everything that occurs globally as being specifically designed to be a personal insult, his unforgiving opinions and politically incorrect remarks make him readable without being plausible.
Now a middle-aged father of three, he continues to see the world through the eyes of the schoolboy he once was in the 1960's. Not necessarily what Michael Parkinson would call 'A National Treasure', Mr Clarkson remains a national institution who represents a part of our lives we might occasionally wish we had never grown out of.
This book is a compendium of his best and most incisive articles first published in the The Sunday Times. With subjects ranging from his home life in rural Oxfordshire to his own personal encouters with petty officials and European legislation, this is a great collection of short rants which will help you keep your sense of humour when the world seems to be working against you.
