1.		An Utterly Impartial History of Britain: (or 2000 Years of Upper Class Idiots in Charge) from Black Swan Price: £3.86 Customer Review: A fantastic book for anyone who has an interest in British history and has a sense of humour. If you already have at least a basic level of knowledge of any period of British history pre-1945 and are looking for a book which is an easy and light hearted read then this is for you. It is crammed full... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

2.		Isle of Wight to Get Ceefax: And Other Groundbreaking Stories from Newsbiscuit from Doubleday Price: £6.99 Customer Review: This book made me laugh so hard I wet myself and my 3 neighbours on the 4.10 to Canterbury East last tuesday. This urinary faux pas resulted in my person being forcibly ejected from the train at some speed, causing a rural pile up for a passing pack of fox hounds and their red-coated masters.... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

3.		An Utterly Impartial History of Britain or 2000 Years of Upper-class Idiots in Charge from Doubleday Price: £9.52 Customer Review: This should be compulsory reading for schools - a brilliant reminder of our history preesented in a light hearted, easy to read way. Nothing like '1066- and all that' as one reviewer has stated much more subtle humour than that. I don't see that it is a totally 'impartial' history but leans a little... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

4.		May Contain Nuts from Black Swan Price: £5.49 Customer Review: I bought this book on recommendation of a friend. It amused me that her and her daughter spot the may contain nuts brigade. Well after reading the book, my comment is what a load of rubbish!!!!Poorly written and only a few comical incidents I did not find that funny. I would definately not... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

5.		Things Can Only Get Better: Eighteen Miserable Years in the Life of a Labour Supporter, 1979-1997 from Black Swan Price: £5.99 Customer Review: John O'Farrell can write some great satire - but not this. A great read if you are (a) a Labour supporter / activist - you'll feel at home (b) a Tory activist - give you some light relief to hear that others have suffered also Dont read if you are (c) Margarer... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

6.		I Have a Bream from Black Swan Price: £5.99 Customer Review: John O'Farrell witters on attractively, but never hits the heights of "It Can Only Get Better" - the book in which he definitively nails the right-on eighties.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

7.		The Best a Man Can Get from Black Swan Price: £5.49 Customer Review: It was one of those chance things. Staying in a converted barn on holiday in Pembrokeshire the owners of the barn had kindly provided some books and DVD's for use by the holidaymakers. I selected The Best A Man Can Get because I also had John O'Farrell's Things Can Only Get Better at home waiting to... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

8.		I Blame the Scapegoats from Black Swan Price: £6.99 Customer Review: For pure gags per page there is no one to beat John O'Farrell. This is a great book to dip in and out of - each column is about three pages long, some on news stories we remember, but others on those we have forgotten but where the observations still hold true. The routines are classy and come with... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

9.		Global Village Idiot from Black Swan Price: £5.49 Customer Review: I really enjoyed this selection of articles which were written before the Iraq war. Having read it recently it was quite uncanny some of the comments and warnings made by John O'Farrell. Pity Tony Blair did not heed them or perhaps he never read them.

10.		This Is Your Life from Black Swan Price: £5.49 Customer Review: My first ever review, never been tempted to write one before. I found 'Utterly impartial history of Britain' brilliant, and that tempted me to buy more by O'Farrell. Admittedly, I'm only half way through 'this is your life', but already I have come accross two huge, glaring, continuity errors.... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
