Ce commentaire est de: Utterly Utterly Merry Comic Relief Christmas Book (Paperback)
This book has a very interesting story. It is filled with things written by many comedians. All profits from this book were to go to different charities, 80% helping those in Africa, and 20% helping youths in England. However, there are a couple of pieces in the book that make fun of christianity, and as a result, the publishers were pressed into not having a second print run, making this book somewhat harder to find. Anyways, on to the content.
This book has contributions from and was edited by Douglas Adams, wihch right there says that it should be interesting. While I was reading this book, I was almost constantly laughing; the content chosen was almost all very good. The humor at some points was rather crude, but overall, it was very enjoyable to read. There was one bit, however, that wasn't funny at all, and was in fact very rude, and is probably what made people try to stop the book from being printed. "The Young one's Nativity Play" makes fun of the Nativity Story, but it is unbelievably rude, stupid, and it just makes me wonder what the editors were thinking when they decided to include it. This story is the reason why the book doesn't get five stars.
Everything else, however, is excellent, and some stories, such as "Genghis Khan's Private Life", and the "Christmas Survival Kit", were great to read. So, in short, I would recommend this book to anyone, just be prepared for crude humor which appears occasionally, and one very unintelligent story.
Listmania!
