This is the hilariously surreal correspondence of Robin Cooper, who for several years has been plaguing department stores, hotels, associations, fan clubs and a certain children's book publisher with his letters. From Prince Charles to the Peanut Council, Harrods to the British Halibut Association - no one is safe. So who is Robin Cooper? Architect, thimble designer, trampoline tester and wasp expert, Robin Cooper is all of these things - it just depends on whom he's writing to. Robin Cooper is the pseudonym of Robert Popper, a BAFTA and British Comedy Award-nominated writer and producer. His Letters From a Complete Timewaster have been published each month in JACK magazine since March 2002.… (more)

I read this book a little while ago and like to flick through it now and again as it's great for a little chuckle, would recommend having a look through it if you ever see it! :) ( )

Super funny! Robin Cooper has an imagination and perseverance to be envied. ( )

I'll admit that I did get to the end of this. It's not the book's fault, but I just found the letters to be a bit too cringeworthy for my liking. Despite that, it's good, clean fun. I'm a fan of this sort of humour, even if I can't quite bring myself to read it. ( )

IN SHORT: Bizarre, pointless & hilarious letters to strangers.   WHO FOR?: Anyone with a sense of humour.   THOUGHTS: I laughed out loud a number of times to this one. Genuinely hilarious. Whoever wrote the synopsis on this website needs to check their pulse because I'm worried about them. It is very very silly but will distract you nicely if you need some cheering up.   : They get a little samey as it goes on, but that's not a major problem since the format is great.   : How polite these letters are!  This could have been an abusive book, but the tone is so upbeat throughout.  Much of the comedy comes from just how keen he is to get in contact with those wonderful folks at the National Federation Of Fish Fryers.
