Of you know you know

Richard Ayoade is a delightful trip. His sense of humor and delivery will keep you smiling days after you have finished this book.

Pretty entertaining

I think this audiobook is pretty funny and entertaining. I enjoyed the satyric (sometimes almost cynic) view on film and the industry behind it. Also, Ayoade is doing a great job reading the book and the footnotes. Though, several parts don't really work in this format.

The ‘Interviews’ are Excellent, The Rest is Hit or Miss

The interview sections that make up the majority of the book are excellent. Ayoade’s comic timing is superb (as expected) and the production itself adds a lot of flair. The extended appendix is not quite so smooth though. Those chapters pretty hit and miss, with a larger emphasis on miss. I did love the Terrence Malick tweets / emails though!

インタビューの部分が大好きだった。アイオアディ俳優のコメディタイミングがすごいとプロダクションも良かった。色んな長いあとがきが時々面白いけどもっと大きいパーセントがつまらなかった。特にそのあとがきの「マリックのツイッターとメール」が好きだった

Wonderful read read by Ayoade

great will listen again in a couple of month. easy to listen, enjoyable in a funny way.

Fantastic read.

This is an unrelentingly hilarious book, with a terrific performance. My only gripe is that I wish it was longer.

Loneliness is Individual. Horniness is Universal.

At its core this is a story about a fun, horny guy trying to get laid. Wait...no, even with the amount of Ayoade on Ayoade action that this has, its a fun, surreal look at himself, movie tropes and more.

Classic Ayoade Wit and Cleverness

I had enjoyed the unique experience that is the Ayoade On Top audiobook, so I figured that I'd invest in other Ayoade audiobooks to see how that goes.

This book is crazy but brilliant, and also quite funny. It's sort of biographical, but in a clearly fictional way that plays to Ayoade's particular brand of low-key humor. Plus the fiction is very aware of this being an audiobook instead of a physical book and that all connects to the humor of the work.

But it's not just silly stuff - as always, Ayoade's writing is eloquent, intelligent, and insightful and it clearly shows his love for film. This really is a passion for him and that shines through even if the prose is crafted in a way that slants towards the absurd.

Definitely a fun listening experience and a good time.

Enjoyable, yet still completely forgettable

As a fan of Richard Ayoade I was excited for this book, especially after reading good book about that awful Gwyneth Paltrow movie. This book is absurd, enjoyable at times, but ultimately forgettable.

Hilarious

So funny and perfectly performed for audiobook. It makes it even better if you have the physical book as it completes the experience.
