Ayoade on Top
Ratings24
Average rating3.8
Richard Ayoade - in this foren, perhaps one of the most 'insubstantial' people of our age, takes us on a journey from Peckham to Paris by way of Nevada and other places we don't care about. It's a journey deep within, in a way that's respectful and non-invasive; a journey for which we will all pay a heavy price, even if you've waited for the smaller paperback edition. Ayoade argues for the canonisation of this brutal masterpiece, a film that celebrates capitalism in all its victimless glory; one we might imagine Donald Trump himself half-watching on his private jet's gold-plated flat screen while his other puffy eye scans the cabin for fresh, young prey."

The book's well written and good humoured, but you have to watch the film to fully enjoy the jokes, and that's just not worth it.
I love Richard Ayoade and I grew up watching View from the Top, so I had pretty high expectations for this book. I should have known that I love Ayoade in short bursts, so reading his thoughts and being in his mind for more than a chapter was exhausting. I appreciate the concept of this book and would still recommend to his fans, but it was hard for me, personally, to get though.
