Book description
Jeremy Clarkson, shares his opinions on just about everything in
The World According to Clarkson.
Jeremy Clarkson has seen rather more of the world than most. He has,
as they say, been around a bit. And as a result, he's got one or two
things to tell us about how it all works - and being Jeremy Clarkson
he's not about to voice them quietly, humbly and without great dollops
of humour.
In The World According to Clarkson, he reveals why it is that:
. Too much science is bad for our health
. '70s rock music is nothing to be ashamed of
. Hunting foxes while drunk and wearing night-sights is neither big
nor clever
. We must work harder to get rid of cricket
. He liked the Germans (well, sometimes)
With a strong dose of common sense that is rarely, if ever, found
inside the M25, Clarkson hilariously attacks the pompous, the
ridiculous, the absurd and the downright idiotic, whilst also
celebrating the eccentric, the clever and the sheer bloody brilliant.
Less a manifesto for living and more a road map to modern life,
The World According to Clarkson is the funniest book you'll
read this year. Don't leave home without it.
The World According to Clarkson is a hilarious collection of
Jeremy's Sunday Times columns and the first in his The World
According to Clarkson series which also includes And Another
Thing . . . , For Crying Out Loud! and How Hard Can It Be?

BBC2 called Top Gear. He left to forge a career in other directions but
made a complete hash of everything and ended up back on Top Gear again.
He lives with his wife, Francie, and three children in Oxfordshire.
Despite this he has a clean driving licence.
