Het is minder een manifest en meer een routekaart die met een typisch Brits gevoel voor ironie door de complexiteit van de huidige wereld gidst.

    Jeremy Clarkson shares his opinions on just about everything in The World According to Clarkson . Jeremy Clarkson has seen rather more of the world than most. He has, as they say, been around a bit. And as a result, he's got one or two things to tell us about how it all works; and being Jeremy Clarkson he's not about to voice them quietly, humbly, and without great dollops of humor. In The World According to Clarkson , he reveals why it is that too much science is bad for our health, 1970s rock music is nothing to be ashamed of, hunting foxes while drunk and wearing night-sights is neither big nor clever, we must work harder to get rid of cricket, and that he likes the Germans (well, sometimes). With a strong dose of common sense that is rarely, if ever, found inside the M25, Clarkson hilariously attacks the pompous, the ridiculous, the absurd, and the downright idiotic, while also celebrating the eccentric, the clever, and the sheer bloody brilliant. Less a manifesto for living and more a road map to modern life, The World According to Clarkson is the funniest book you'll read this year. Don't leave home without it. The World According to Clarkson is a hilarious collection of Jeremy's Sunday Times columns and the first in his The World According to Clarkson series which also includes And Another Thing ; For Crying Out Loud! and How Hard Can It Be?

    Jeremy Clarkson is nog steeds in oorlog met de wereld. Wat is er toch aan de hand met de hedendaagse mens? Hij verbaast zich elke dag over alle gekte die hij om zich heen ziet. Maar gelukkig is niet alles slecht en dwaas. Hij heeft zelfs nieuwe dingen geleerd. Zo kent hij het afschuwelijkste woord, weet hij wat het probleem van Amerika is, ontdekt hij het opmerkelijke geheim van de eeuwige jeugd en voelt hij het genot en de pijn van drummen op middelbare leeftijd. En als je je altijd al hebt afgevraagd hoe je je ontdoet van een zeehond, dan is dit jouw boek.

En-route, he discovers how rhubarb will become the new crack, that a comb over will end anyone's quest for global domination.

    Crikey, the world according to Clarkson's been a funny old place of late . . . For a while, Jeremy could be found in his normal position as the tallest man on British television but, more recently, he appears to have been usurped by a pretend elephant. But on paper the realJeremy remains at the helm. That's as it should be. For nearly thirty years he has been fearlessly leading the charge as one the best comic writers in the country. And in 2015, he shows no sign of slowing down. So, whether it's pondering- If Jesus might have been better off being born in New Zealand Why reflexive pronoun abuse is the worst thing in the world How Pam Ayres's head trumps Gordon Gekko's underpants or What a television presenter with time on his hands gets up to Jeremy is still trying to make sense of all the big stuff. Circumstances change. Nothing's forever. But As I Was Sayingprovides glorious proof that Jeremy remains as funny, puzzled, excitable, outspoken, insightful and thought-provoking as ever. As if you ever doubted it . . .

  7. If You'd Just Let Me Finish

    Well, someone's got to do it- in a world which simply will not see reason, Jeremy sets off on another quest to beat a path of sense through all the silliness and idiocy. Pithy and provocative, this is Clarkson at his best, taking issue with whatever nonsense gets in the way of his search for all that's worth celebrating. Why should we be forced to accept stuff that's a bit rubbish? Shouldn't things work? What doesn't someone care? It's a good thing we've still got Jeremy out there, still looking, without fear or favour, for the answers.
