Dishonesty Is the Second-Best Policy

By: David Mitchell

Narrated by: David Mitchell

David Mitchell’s 2014 best seller Thinking About It Only Makes It Worse must really have made people think - because everything’s got worse. We’ve gone from UKIP surge to Brexit shambles, from horsemeat in lasagne to Donald Trump in the White House, from Woolworths going under to all the other shops going under. It’s probably socially irresponsible even to try to cheer up.

But if you’re determined to give it a go, you might enjoy this eclectic collection (or eclection) of David Mitchell’s attempts to make light of all that darkness. Scampi, politics, the Olympics, terrorism, exercise, rude street names, inheritance tax, salad cream, proportional representation and farts are all touched upon by Mitchell’s unremitting laser of chit-chat, as he negotiates a path between the commercialisation of Christmas and the true spirit of Halloween.

Hilarious, ironic, sarcastic.

I enjoyed his pearls of wisdom in Peep Show and Would I Lie to You. Highly recommend if you like The sarcastic British humor.

Devastatingly hilarious.

Smart, witty observation of the chaos we currently live in. Makes you sob in despair at our future and chuckle with concerted glee as you realize you are intelligent and well read enough to get that humorous comparison. Highly recommended for fans of Peep Show and Trump. Seriously, occupants of red states here in the US will love this.

Fantastic book by the sarcastic god of my dreams.

absolutely loved it. Mitchell is one of the funniest, most brilliant British comedians out there.

Always enjoy him

Consistently funny throughout. I'll probably end up purchasing all his books, very enjoyable. Would recommend

Love David Michell, he kills it as always.

It's quick, maybe a bit rambley at times, but still enjoyable. I'd say I don't know a whole lot about British politics, so that's one issue I have with the book.
