Born to Be Riled by Jeremy Clarkson

Motoring and modern life provoke outspoken comic opinions

Good Condition - with scuffed covers, rubbed edges, curled and creased corners and several spine creases.

Jeremy Clarkson surveys a world that supplies him with an apparently inexhaustible list of things to complain about. Cars and the people who drive them provide a natural starting point, but his attention soon extends to politicians, celebrities, television personalities and national habits. Everyday encounters become opportunities for exaggerated arguments, irreverent judgements and the occasional enthusiastic endorsement. The collection captures the voice of a commentator whose enjoyment of machinery is matched by his impatience with rules, pretension and what he regards as common foolishness. Written as short, self-contained pieces, Born to Be Riled can be browsed at leisure, offering readers an assortment of provocative opinions and comic observations from behind the wheel and beyond it.
