Synopsis:
Well hello to you dear browser. Now I have your
attention it would be rude if I didn't tell you a little about my literary
feast. So, here is the thing: is it just me or does anyone else find that
adulthood offers no refuge from the unexpected horrors, peculiar lack of
physical coordination and sometimes unexplained nudity, that accompanied
childhood and adolescence?
Does everybody struggle with the hazards that accompany, say, sitting elegantly on a bar stool; using chopsticks; pretending to understand the bank crisis; pedicures - surely it's plain wrong for a stranger to fondle your feet? Or is it just me?
I am proud to say I have a wealth of awkward experiences - from school days to life as an office temp - and here I offer my 18-year-old self (and I hope you too dear reader) some much needed caution and guidance on how to navigate life's rocky path.
Because frankly where is the manual? The much needed manual to life. Well, fret not, for this is my attempt at one and let's call it, because it's fun, a Miran-ual. I thank you.
My
review:
Miranda
Hart has managed to put a much needed smile on my face and actually made me
laugh out loud in public.
I
am a big fan of her comedy sketch show ‘Miranda’ and I do miss it terribly. She
has a very natural sense of humour that appeals to all sorts of different walks
of life.
In
this book, Miranda picks on various subjects from everyday live including
dating, weddings, diets etc. She also talks to her 18 year old self and
illustrates really well how differently we feel at that age and how different
reality looks when we grow up and have responsibilities.
I
must admit that I enjoyed the first half of the book much more than the second half.
As I was reading I could see Miranda and hear the words in my head being said
in her voice. Then the book just kind of slowed down for me, hence the three
stars.
I
still enjoyed it though. It’s a brilliant holiday read, or something you pick
up when you need a lift after a bad day at work, just to make sure that there
really are people with the same trouble as you.
My rating: 3/5
