Not an actual book, but a collection of stale tweets and one liners

Don't get me wrong, I've read other books of tweets and loved them. Dril's Official Mr Ten Years Anniversary Collection for example is outrageously funny. It was much bigger than I thought it would be and had something like a dozen tweets per page. I think when you put in the work and have enough content to actually fill in more than one line a page you should consider publishing a book of tweets, and maybe actually be funny while doing it. I really am disappointed with how much paper was wasted on this thing and how little I enjoyed it.Karl's twitter account is pretty good but he should not have called this a "book" or built it up to be anything beyond what it is (even as a joke). I think you should really differentiate when a book is a serious work and when it's a mostly empty collection of tweets but alas, I went in expecting a book and what I got was more empty page than text. This is basically the twitter version of Rupi Kaur's Milk and Honey.By all accounts it's a completely below average collection of one liners and tweets. Two stars for the content, which made me think 'this is humorous' perhaps three times in total. Minus one star because he called it a book and built up my expectations that it might actually be semi-interesting to read. I had preordered a second copy to gift a coworker I had introduced to his account and I felt embarassed giving it to her. She seemed to like it more than I did but all I can say is I regret buying this book (twice).

Witty. Biting. Intelligent.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book! The cultural references got me thinking about Nigeria. Karl sure knows how to make you laugh and think simultaneously.This book is highly recommended.The only drawback is it is too short; it left me wanting more!

Biting humor

I laughed out loud multiple times while reading this. yes, it's mainly a collection of tweets. but it's well put together and if you know the region even a little, you will enjoy it very much.

Absolutely hilarious read

I thoroughly enjoyed this. I did not like that it was so short. Felt like discovering a funny friend then they had to go.

not quite a book, this, but monumental nonethelesswhat I most like about this compilation of tweets is Karl Sharro's capacity to love and criticise his kind in equal measurebeen following him on Twitter for some time, so I'd seen most of these tweets before!---> that did not stop me from rolling on the floor laughing, againif I was limited to following one account on Twitter, it would most certainly be @KarlreMarks

Ich hatte eine falsche Vorstellung von dem Buch.

Ich hatte mir leider etwas anderes vorgestellt. Das Buch sollte ein Geschenk werden, hat aber den Vorstellungen absolut nicht entsprochen.

Viel Geld für wenig Inhalt

Ist nicht das Geld wert, ich habe mir mehr Inhalt gewünscht. Ein Preis von unter 5 ,-€ wäre vollkommen ausreichen.
