Absolutely awful.
Was given it as a gift for Christmas and still feel ripped off. Waiting for a suitable time for it to 'accidentally' end up at the charity shop or in the paper recycling. It's just list after list of things a stupid person might do. Or that a stupid person would THINK a stupid person would do, at least. No real-life examples or any form of coherent theme, just page after page of unrelated lists. None of them funny or in any way believable.
"Only a Numpty would buy this book" is a phrase that equals anything in the book and surpasses most of it, simply by dint of the fact that it's actually TRUE.
1 star is too generous but the minimum I appear to be allowed to give it. At most, maybe a small child might enjoy some of the 'jokes' but they would be put off by the style of the book, so would be better off with a proper childrens' joke book.
Avoid.
