funny relaxing medium-paced

This was actually alot funnier than I expected. I had listenened to the radio show where he talked about some of the events from the book and honestly, it's definitely better with his delivery. I thought reading it wouldn't be as good, but because his comedic style is very clear throughout the stories, I didn't have any problems reading it in his voice. 

I kind of want to recommend this book to those of you who have never seen or heard his comedy just because once you find yourself in a YouTube wormhole of James Acaster comedy appearances, many of the stories in the book won't be new to you. There are plenty of other stories that are great (I mean they gave me heart palpitations- this guy is the worst decision maker ever) but the big finale was a bit of a letdown just because I'd heard it before... so really, it's should be a 5-star but the ending was a bit anti-climactic so I ended up giving it a 4.
