Karlolgy By Karl Pilkington.

Hey Guys,
Product Details:
Publisher: Dorling Kindersley 2009.
Paperback. 219 Pages.
Source: Borrowed from a friend.
Rating: 2 out of 5.
Synopsis/Blurb: This is a voyage through the strange yet mesmerising mind of cult author Karl Pilkington, now in paperback. By his own admission Karl Pilkington left formal education behind with only an E in History to his name and not much else. Ever since, his thirst for knowledge has nagged. With this in mind, Karl has embarked on a tour of discovery to make up for the lost years of learning, and to find out more stuff. "Karlology" is the result.So what exactly has Karl Pilkington learned so far? This is a man, it should be noted, who thinks owning 1,777 acres of the moon is a good idea, and believes that the human testicles should be relocated to the earlobes. Maybe he's right.
I will start by saying this book will be very very short. I love Karl on tv and in books, I think he is a very funny and honest bloke. As I have loved his other books which I have reviewed on here I thought I would try his earlier stuff and I guessing that as he gets older he gets funnier as I didn't find these as funny as the others I have read.
Where as the idiot abroad books literally had me in tears from laughing this books I laughed just once or twice.
This is not a "story" but Karl gets to visit a few different museums and shares with us what he learns. This is very factual but like I have already said not very funny. This is not a book I will be purchasing myself to have my own copy.  This is written in 1st person obviously from Karls point of view.
See you soon.
