What a book! I haven't read anything that made laugh this much. My sides ache from all the laughing I did. I generally don't recommend books, but I would recommend this ( )

I adore Karl Pilkington. His books and his way of thinking make me laugh out loud while reading...which is something that rarely occurs for me. This book received 3 stars instead of 4 or 5 because I'd heard most of these stories in the podcasts/other books/Ricky Gervais show on HBO. While some of them still made me chuckle, I found myself looking forward to the next book in my stack to read rather than really connecting with this. Overall though, Karl is wonderful and will make you at least smile. I've read all of his books now...and I would definitely recommend them! ( )

Karl Pilkington is always amusing, but I didn't like Karlology as much as I'd liked some of his other books. For me, it lacked the belly laughs that usually come so naturally when I read his books, or watch his TV shows. It had its moments, but there's better things out there for Karl's fans. ( )

Karl Pilkington is a strange, strange, strange, strange man - but because of that he is very entertaining to read. It honestly is difficult to decide if he's an idiot, mentally disturbed, or some kind of simple genius, but his tales about his attempts to learn more about the world around him are totally worth reading. He visits a series of museums, historical sites, and other places traditionally associated with some sort of learning, and hilarity ensues! ( )
