About this product

Product Information

Dear Reader, Life is hard. We are a bombarded generation: Facebook, billboards, Twitter, Instagram, taxes, newspapers, watches monitoring our sleep, apps that read our pulse, terrorism. There's such an onslaught to the senses these days it's a marvel any of us manage to get out of bed. I love bed. While we are overwhelmed and confused by the miasmic cloud of information, there are those that seek to take advantage: there are parking fines, hate Tweets, Nigerian email scams and Christmas newsletters from old school friends about their ugly kids. And just as we're getting round to doing something about it, we're distracted again. I, Joe Lycett, comedian, wordsmith, and professional complainer, am here to help. During my short life of doing largely nothing I've discovered solutions to many of life's problems, which I impart to you, dear Reader. Containing a centurion of complaint letters to unsuspecting celebrities, companies and anyone brave enough to clog up my phone, as well as illustrations, one-liners , jokes and life hacks, this little gem offers you a collection of tips and advice* for all manner of modern woe. By the time you have finished reading this book you will have learnt how to: - Reverse a parking fine - Manipulate the tabloid press - Navigate social media - Respond to hate mail - Out-weird internet trolls - Contest a so-called ripe avocado - Send the perfect Christmas newsletter - Defeat ISIS - Take down multi-national companies AND MUCH, MUCH MORE! Joe Lycett x * If you are looking for guidance with taxes, quitting smoking, moving house, love, divorce, education, healthcare or anything actually important may I recommend speaking to friends or family members and not consulting a book by a comedian who eats halloumi at least twice a day.

Good book
Bought this as a chirstmas present so I haven’t read it yet, but it arrived quickly and wasn’t damaged at all. I also found that this was a lot cheaper than anywhere else I was going to buy it from, so that was a plus as well.

Fails to live up to the hype or potential
Joe Lycett is a very good performer, but all the best gags in the book are ones he has already used in his performances. For those who haven't seen his standup, and subsequent emails to Leeds City Council for his parking fine, or his emails to out an email scammer trying about renting an apartment in central London - they are very funny and got me to buy to book. Unfortunately the other material within the book is quite lame and left me disappointed. My only worry now is Joe probably reads these reviews and may start trolling me. If he does I'm sure it'll be more entertaining than aspects of this book :-(
