Clarkson: The Gloves Are Off

I really thought this was one of JCs written books but, sadly it's not and I just can not get in to it....Not recommended (sorry)

If you are going to buy this book to find out about the bust up which ended Jeremy's career with the BBC, you will be disappointed. There is nothing you don't know already. Its also a bit crawly, there's no way Jeremy would object to anything in this book, apart from the sycophancy probably.

Good read

If you’re a geologist then you’ll love rocks. In the same vein, if you’re a Jeremy clarkson fan then you’ll love this rather indulgent overview of Jeremy’s life.

Always a good read

Like him or loathe him, mister marmite, is a dam good writer, and has a unique outlook on the world.

As the other reviewers have said there's nothing new in here and that's not really the thing that bugged me the most about the book - the worst thing was the fact that the same about half a dozen facts are repeated almost verbatim several times in the book. I reckon the book could be half as long if it wasn't for the endless repetition and the dialogue from Who do You Think You Are?.Save your money and buy one of JC's own books - at least you get some laughs for your money.

Utter toss-you can write trash like this without getting out of bed.Barely five mentions of Andy Wilman (Clarkson's producing partner), in the entire book, and none at all until well into the last third of the book.One chapter in particular (Who Do You Think You Are?),is essentially a transcript of the beeb show of the same name, with series details taken straight from Wikipedia. In addition to other errors ('Queue' instead of 'Cue','Hercules helicopter',etc), this gives every impression of a rush job thrown together to capitalise on the recent TG mess.It even claims to have 'the inside story on the Top Gear' fracas' on the cover (it doesn't).Avoid at all costs.

Repetitive and boring drivel. Bought this thinking it had been written by the man himself, massive disappointment to find it was actually just a social commentary.

I too bought this boo thinking it was written by Clarkson, the coger is designdd to copy his style and intentionally miss lead.

By virtue of its cover style, this tome is fooling many people into thinking that it is a book written by Clarkson himself. Nothing could be further from the truth.

In my haste at WH Smiths in the airport, I assumed that I was buying the latest book by Jeremy Clarkson, anticipating an enjoyable and humorous read over the next couple of hours.
