After going on a journey of discovery in The Moaning of Life, the enlightened one - otherwise known as Karl Pilkington - finds himself back on the road. In his search for the answers to life's big questions, Karl turns his attention (reluctantly) to the juicy subjects of art, identity, the body, waste, time and how to live your life. In Tokyo, Karl has therapy to try and reduce the size of his head, he spends time in Chicago with a man pretending to be a dog, in New York he tries his hand at painting with his own vomit and travels to Mexico to perform an underwater inspection in raw sewage. Will his travels around the world bring him any closer to the meaning of life? Find out in his hilarious new book.

If I was Karl's English teacher, this would get an A++

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 June 2016

Verified Purchase

Karl is just getting better and better at writing. I know he found writing this book hard, but his hard work really paid off. If I was your teacher Karl, you'd easy get an A+ from me!

The book has far more information than the TV show, and for me, it's better. Why? Because at times it felt the TV show was too rushed and they tried to fit too much into a 40 minute program. Maybe it's because people have short attention spans - but some of the topics were interesting, yet they were over in 3 or 4 minutes. The book doesn't suffer from that. There are parts that just had me belly laughing!

Another thing with Karl is, (and I've heard Ricky Gervais say the same thing) he is actually very very intelligent, and the more travelling and watching of YouTube he does, he just keeps getting cleverer and cleverer, while retaining that unique view on things. It just shows school isn't everything and Karl should be an example to all those kids that left school not knowing what to do with their lives.

Karl, if you don't do any more TV shows, you definitely have a career in writing books. It's not a talent everybody has - so use it! :)

Good laugh

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 July 2019

Verified Purchase

Genuinely funny book with Karls analysis on world cultures, both unique and common. Mostly critical, but in a way whereby you can't help but laugh, and even the positive stuff is because he looks at things so differently than most people. Love his thoughts on hot tubs (you wouldn't invite your mates to share a bath). If you have seen the moaning of life season 2, you will recognise a lot of his descriptions and activities, but yet there are completely new bits and details of his thoughts not caught on camera.

Another classic Karl Pilkington story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 September 2020

Verified Purchase

I’m a huge fan of Karl’s humorous one liners and this book certainly isn’t short of those. He tells his stories in his own way. Even after watching the episodes on tv the book gives you more of an insight into the reasoning behind why Karl feels a certain way towards things and I can relate to all of it. More people need to come around to his way of thinking.

Non stop moaning

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 March 2018

Verified Purchase

Karl spends far to much time moaning. with all the moaning and talking total boll##ks this should be total dog turd. However with everything he says always seems to make total sense. That bald round head is packed with facts, never know what's correct but I don't care cos the man's a legend. Read all his books and always cry with laughter. A must read book( but not on a plane as you may get weird looks when laughing out loud!!!)

Mr. Little

Fantastic book. KP strikes a chord with my type of humor.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 November 2016

Verified Purchase

I've been a huge fan of KP since the XFM days. Having listened to the old recordings religiously, there are definitely a lot of links back to musings he has previously had. He always seems to have a different slant on everyday things that to me makes me chuckle almost every time, there are always those ideas that are simply too daft, but thats what I love about it, he doesn't care! He says what he sees and doesn't filter out what he thinks even if sometimes he might ought to! If you read this Karl, hope the kitchen and the boiler are top notch, you deserve it!

So my sister thought this would be a good gift for her

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 January 2018

Verified Purchase

This was a birthday present my sister had asked me to purchase for our mother as she is a fan of Karl Pilkington and his comedy. So my sister thought this would be a good gift for her. She was definitely right about that as my mother still to this day reads the books on and off and laughs at every page
