Category Name : Humour
Author Name : An Utterly Impartial History of Britain: (or 2000 Years of Upper Class Idiots in Charge)
Publisher Name : Though it claims to be witty, I'm afraid I can't add to the glowing reports of this book. This is not to say that it is an awful book, merely that I found it hard to engage with the style of John O'Farrell. The reading is light and is a good a book to snuggle up in bed with as any, but I found the jokes were sometimes lacking and repetitive. In terms of information I can't say that it was controversial to anything I have so far studied. It was hardly detailed but this is understandable with how much information was crammed into the tome. John O'Farrell attempts to see history from a low-class point of view- a difficult challenge considering the mediocre information to be found on the subject in many eras- but I think he labours his point on 'upper-class' idiots a little too much, making his witty remarks at little less witty and a little more boring. A good read overall but a little over-done.
Minimum Price : £ 3.99
