About this listen

Why is every film or tv programme a sequel or a remake?

Why are people so f***ing hung up about swearing?

Why do the asterisks in that sentence make it okay?

Why do so many people want to stop other people doing things, and how can they be stopped from stopping them?

These and many other questions trouble David Mitchell. Join him on a tour of the absurdities of modern life - from Ryanair to Richard III, Downton Abbey to phone etiquette, UKIP to hot dogs made of cats. Funny, provocative and shot through with refreshing amounts of common sense, Thinking About It Only Makes It Worse celebrates and commiserates on the state of things in our not entirely glorious modern world.

So funny it made me laugh out loud on several occasions. I think this man could talk about anything and make it amusing.
A pleasure to listen to his narration.
This is my first time listening to this author, and I’m getting ready to buy another of his books.

Brilliant! Made me look forward to my daily commute

I hate to write this review because I normally love David Mitchell's comedy but my god, this book is boring! Unfortunately, I just thought David Mitchell was droning on and it wasn't at all like the comedy I'm used to seeing him do (Peep show etc). A real shame I couldn't get into it.

Boring

I liked it because it was good. And some more to make it fifteen words.

Not so optional headline.

An irreverent tiptoe through this wittily depressing, and depressingly witty writer's column inches from the mid noughties.

David Mitchell at his David Mitchelliest.
