Reviews: You Couldn't Make It Up...! (4)
“Hilarious”
(Hardback)
I would (and have) wholeheartedly recommend this book! Whilst not written to be humorous as it is just a selection of people's letters into the telegraph, the observations people have made had me chuckling to myself throughout the duration of the book. It covers subjects from Covid to politicians to entertainment and so on and the writers are from a variety of ages and localities. There are some genuinely funny lines in here which I hope I'll one day find myself in a situation to use. Although it's written so you can pick it up and put it down, I read it all in one sitting, chuckling to myself at one end of the sofa whilst my husband was asking what I was laughing at. I will be looking out for more in the series
“Witty”
(Hardback)
This is an uncanny insight to the psyche of the everyday British humour. Our dry wit and cynicism showing through often, I found this book to be a laugh-out-loud occasion and shared many an excerpt with my friends who would find it equally humorous.
Thank you for the opportunity to read it in exchange for a fair and honest review.
“Another success in this series”
(Hardback)
Such an insight into the minds of the British Public on a number of relevant topics. From the hilariously funny to the downright strange you can see why these letters just had to be published.
Another huge success in this series and a quick, funny read for these current times
“Numerous fun and weird unpublished letters from Telegraph readers”
(Hardback)
You Couldn't Make It Up...! provides us with numerous unpublished letters from Telegraph readers.
There were many funny and weird letters that gave me a laugh, but many missed the mark, be it because I'm not from the UK and don't know many of the referenced people, or because there were also many letters from what seem to be the most bitter of the elderly population.
I definitely think that the book is much better is you're aware of UK politics and know all the involved parties, as most notes involved them in some way.
