Well-written, engaging and funny - though not as funny as Mitchell is on TV, it surprised me to learn. Still, Mitchell is one half of probably my favourite comedy duo, and it was very interesting to see where it all came from. Although he is WRONG about The Lord of the Rings. And capitalism, it transpires. We need more anarcho-communist TV comedians. But I digress. If you like David Mitchell, read this. And be prepared for the penultimate chapter to actually be some of the most thought-provoking non-fiction you've read in a while
