Before anyone judges me horribly for reading this book, I have to defend myself by prefacing this review with stressing the point that this was a very random title I picked up in the library of the hotel I was staying in over the last few days in Edinburgh. I picked it up aiming to flick through the first few pages, and before I knew it twenty minutes had passed and I'd finished it (you may be surprised to learn that this is not highbrow literature).

James Blunt has been vilified pretty much non-stop since his 'You're Beautiful' song topped the charts for an inordinately long period of time, but having spent 20 minutes in his company in this book I have to say it seems that he brought much of that hatred upon himself. Getting abuse on a daily basis on Twitter, he decided at one point if you can't beat 'em, join 'em, and embarked on a clever social media campaign which more or less entailed him coming up with a much better put down than those flung at him. About 20% of his retorts were aimed at the Tweet originator, but more often than not he simply slagged himself off more acutely in reply. This book is a collection of those Twitter exchanges.

I must admit I did chortle at a few of his replies, but mostly this book reminded me what a complete knob-end James Blunt is. Fair dues, though, he really doesn't care.

2 stars - I really can't recommend this, but thanks for a few smiles, Blunt.
