Riassunto

Do you despair of book blurbs that use words like ‘tour de force’, ‘brilliant’ and ‘hilarious’?

Well, despair no more! In their brilliantly hilarious tour de force, Who Writes This Crap?, Joel Stickley and Luke Wright take all the rubbish you read in an average day and rewrite it in satirical and side-splitting new ways. From junk mail, packaging and advertising to magazines, emails and text messages, Stickley and Wright reinvent the run-of-the-mill like never before. Whether it’s a smoothie label, a newspaper headline or an unsolicited email from a Nigerian prince, this book will change the way you read forever.

Recensione:

Definitely not . . . an absolute waste of time (Big Issue)

A book . . . which seems . . . good (Guardian)

Before you spend your hard-earned money on this book, be warned that you won't in any way enjoy . . . burning it, throwing it across the room, ripping it into satisfyingly small pieces or simply leaving it under a motorway flyover for a pack of feral dogs to use as bedding. All in all, it is best described as a complete crock of . . . quality, consistency or even basic readability (Sunday Times)

Their new show, ‘Aisle16’s Services to Poetry’ is touring now.
