Jeremy Clarkson shares his opinions on just about everything in The World According to Clarkson. Jeremy Clarkson has seen rather more of the world than most. He has as they say been around a bit. & as a result he's got one or two things to tell us about how it all works; & being Jeremy Clarkson he's not about to voice them quietly humbly & without great dollops of humour. In The World According to Clarkson he reveals why it is that: too much science is bad for our health '70s rock music is nothing to be ashamed of Hunting foxes while drunk & wearing night-sights is neither big nor clever; we must work harder to get rid of cricket; & he likes the Germans (well sometimes). With a strong dose of common sense that is rarely if ever found inside the M25 Clarkson hilariously attacks the pompous the ridiculous the absurd & the downright idiotic whilst also celebrating the eccentric the clever & the sheer bloody brilliant. Less a manifesto for living & more a road map to modern life The World According to Clarkson is the funniest book you'll read this year. Don't leave home without it. The World According to Clarkson is a hilarious collection of Jeremy's Sunday Times columns & the first in his The World According to Clarkson series which also
