Easy reading, not great humour

3 stars

This is quite easy reading, each topic is not delved into particularly deeply, it's pretty shallow. The sort of person who would read this, could probably have written 90% of each chapter without doing any research, so you're not going to learn much new, but it's still quite pleasant to read.

Except for the attempted humour, I haven't heard their podcast, so it's possibly a case that their brand of humour doesn't translate well to the written word. Still it grates on you pretty quickly. I feel like a decent editor should have been taking most of the attempted jokes out. If you can get past the attempted humour (which is easy to sample because it's mostly in either speech bubbles or footnotes) this is a pleasant read, but also pretty skippable.
