I came across this book on a list of must-read comedy books. Being a similar age, I thought I would be able to relate to him..... I couldn't.
I found a few parts humerous, but all in all, the book was a whole lot of nothingness for me atleast.
Maybe I'm just grumpy, and others will enjoy it, though.

Was an OK book. Not as laugh out loud as his first book but there was a few chuckles. If you're a parent or struggling with age then you will relate to this in parts but this book will not leave you motivated to get that bucket list ticked off or lose that half a stone.
