Synopsis/Blurb: I've been on the planet for forty years now and I'm still none the wiser as to what it's all about really. I've never worried about life's big questions. People at my age sit about pondering "why are we here?" The only time I ever asked myself that is when Suzanne booked us a surprise holiday to Lanzarote.' Karl Pilkington is forty years old. He's not married, he doesn't have kids, and he's got a job where he's known as an 'idiot'. It's time for him to take stock and face up to life's big question - what does it all mean? Karl is no stranger to travel, and now he's off on a series of madcap adventures around the globe to find out how other cultures approach life's big issues. Travelling from far-flung tribes to high-tech cities, Karl experiences everything from a drive-thru wedding in Las Vegas to a vocational theme park in Japan, he meets a group of people in Mexico who find happiness through pain, attends a clowning school in LA, and even encounters a woman in Bali who lets him help deliver her baby. Have his experiences changed him? Find out in this hilarious new book where Karl shares his stories (and opinions) in his inimitable style. Karl Pilkington is back on the road, and this times he's on a journey of self-discovery...

My love for Karl Pilkington goes on. Both his books and TV series are the funniest things I have ever seen, and I love every page of this book too. I haven't watched The moaning life TV series as of yet as whenever it is on I miss it, but I plan to buy the DVD and watch over and over.
Karl brightens up any sad or bad days I have as he tells the truth and sees the world as I also see it. Very very funny book, I couldn't put it down. This book is split into to sections: Marriage, Kids, Vocation & money, Happiness and Death. Karl meets weird and wonderful people that have different views on each point/section in the book. He seems to "enjoy" this more than the idiot abroad as he isn't told to do stuff he doesn't want to do. In this book I really enjoyed the Karl's facts and sayings.
This isn't like my usual book review as I cant talk about characters but I highly recommend this book as it's very funny.
See you soon.
