Ayoade on Top

De: Richard Ayoade

Narrado por: Richard Ayoade

At last, the definitive audiobook about perhaps the best cabin crew dramedy ever filmed: View from the Top starring Gwyneth Paltrow.

In Ayoade on Top, Richard Ayoade, perhaps one of the most 'insubstantial' people of our age, takes us on a journey from Peckham to Paris by way of Nevada and other places we don't care about. It's a journey deep within, in a way that's respectful and non-invasive; a journey for which we will all pay a heavy price, even if you've waited for the smaller paperback edition.

Ayoade argues for the canonisation of this brutal masterpiece, a film that celebrates capitalism in all its victimless glory; one we might imagine Donald Trump himself half-watching on his private jet's gold-plated flat screen while his other puffy eye scans the cabin for fresh, young prey.

Far, Far Better Than Stalker

Feel held by the unseasonable twinkling of bawdily placed windchime. Now I can finally take down every piece of Live, Laugh, Love signage hanging about the car I live in because after this movie/monograph I’ll never again need a reminder. Hope Ayoade gives the film Down Periscope a proper treatment in his next literary adventure.

It you like Ayoade on TV, you will like him here

The premise of this good was ridiculous and hilarious, not to mention that Ayoade' narration reminded me of his characters on TV of which I was so fond. I plan on listening to it again.

There's Ayoade, then there's Ayoade on Top

Reminiscent of Douglas Adam's and incredibly funny. more than worth your time. But be careful! Ayoade's calming voice will make you want to fall asleep, particularly while driving.

Inspired, Ironic, Digressive

Bought the book originally in print; it was immediately clear the book would be better in Ayoade's literal voice. It was.

The book is a natural successor to Sterne and Shklovsky: it's masterfully constructed of a string of effective digressions. Ayoade modernizes the form with self-deprecating self-reference to wonderful, humorous effect.

Ayoade's performance highlights his uniquely ironic timbre and renders this experience a gem.

Loved it!

If you like Richard Ayoade’s speaking voice, mannerisms, and sense of humor, then you will like this book.

Ayoade on Top Form

As per usual, Ayoade's wit and intelligence shine. I laughed; I cried; I learned the secrets of the universe.

Quirky but brilliant

Loved it! If you're a fan of Richard Ayoade than you should enjoy this audiobook .

Amazing

Absolute perfection. Ayoade is the pinnacle of cinematic intellect. Everyone should listen to this book.

Breath Taking

I didn't know I needed this in my life. I had seen the motion picture but knew nothing until Richard wonderfully explained the nuances! Delightfully funny! 10/10

My God, Richard. You've done it.

I now define my life by 2 periods, before Ayoade (BA) and after Ayoade (AA). Seriously, it's funny.
