I stopped listening to WtNV a few years ago, and this book reminded me why. It's a bit like Monty Python: some of the over-the-top-ness is brilliant, and some of it is just firmly in silly territory.
Unlike the podcast, though, it's easier to skim ahead to less-silly parts.
I did enjoy this beyond the silliness though. It was fantastic to have a story about The Man in the Tan Jacket, and I did have a lot of genuine laugh-out-loud moments. If you're a fan of WtNV I don't know why you haven't already read this.
