It turns out that this was an exception! Adam Kay and I must have the same definition of humour because I’ve never laughed that often while reading a book -probably out of embarrassment though. I don’t laugh easily when reading, This is going to hurt could be the exception! Or not.

The review ‘We definitely don’t have the same definition of humour’ convinced me. After learning that one of the books that I’ve selected was ‘atrocious’, as well as ‘the best book ever’, I decided to pick it. The tricky part of reading these reviews is that no one has the same opinion about a book since no one really perceives things the same way. So here I go, reading the reviews of 30 different persons that don’t seem to have read the same book at all. Because once I’ve read the synopsis and seen 5 different book ratings on Amazon, I still have no guarantee that I’ll like any of them. Anyway, I NEVER buy a book without looking at the reviews. No book cover was really helping me to make my decision, and the rule of ‘don’t touch it if you don’t buy it’ didn’t make my life any easier. Top charts, fiction best-sellers, non-fiction best-sellers… Naturally, I entered the shop perfectly aware that I would spend at least 30mn inside.Ī month ago, I found myself in the typical situation that made me decide to write film and book reviews in the first place. I was at Gatwick Airport, standing in front of hundreds of books and trying to figure out which one would be the best investment. (If you buy these books using my links I could get a tiny commission) HOW I PICKED THIS IS GOING TO HURTĪ month ago, I found myself in the typical situation that made me decide to write film and book reviews in the first place. I hope I will never have to set foot in a hospital ever again though. Thank you, Adam, for giving the doctor’s side of the story, this job is not for everybody, and definitely not for me. Plus, you will definitely learn a lot about the NHS. The awkwardness level of this book actually makes it funny -at least it did for me.
