Summary: Good dinner party stories
Comment: I bought the book because it was a good, light-hearted present and ended up reading it myself on the train home, so I had to go out and buy another one. It does what it says on the cover, it's a great little read and then it's really fun to regale other people with the stories in it afterwards.

Summary: The writer who reviews his own books
Comment: The author of this book Chas Newkey-Burden, using a dummy ID, likes to review his own books here on Amazon - invariably giving them all 5 stars and a hearty recommendation of course! The 'review' you are reading now will soon disappear on the grounds that it is defamatory to the author; but how can the truth be defamatory?
According to Private Eye (among other sources) several reviews of books written by the author Chas Newkey-Burden, were posted by the same person (Chas Newkey-Burden) using a number of dummy Amazon IDs. I saw the evidence with my own eyes, as did thousands of others. He has been proven to adopt similar tactics for 'reviewing' his own books here. Funny, embarrassing and sad.
The proof was evident for all to see when on the profile of an Amazon user called 'reader' (until recently 'read all about it') the REAL name of that user was shown to be Chas Newkey-Burden. He quickly removed that information from the profile page as soon as word escaped! This isn't just a wild allegation from a mad anti-fan, it's a fact and a matter of public record.
No doubt this allegation will be deleted, as Chas Newkey-Burden is desperate to minimise his public humiliation. He will ask Amazon to delete it - but it will be posted again!

Summary: a different opinion
Comment: I went with this book because the topic does sound very funny and the reviews where very good but i just didnt like this one bit in fact it was a very boring book to read. You dont get to read the actual e-mails sent you just get the long winded version of events.
If you want a funny internet book i would recommend e-luv.

Summary: I laughed so much
Comment: It's the kind of book you read in one sitting, one laugh after another and it really is one of the funniest books I've ever read. Some people should never use e-mail. hahaha
