    Story
    (45)

    David Mitchell, who you may know for his inappropriate anger on every TV panel show except Never Mind the Buzzcocks, his look of permanent discomfort on C4 sex comedy Peep Show, his online commenter-baiting in The Observer or just for wearing a stick-on moustache in That Mitchell and Webb Look, has written a book about his life.

    What disappointed you about David Mitchell: Back Story?

    I looked forward to buying this book for ages. Unfortunately it did not live up to expectations, not even close. Boring, not funny, self indulgent.

    His voice is pretty unpleasant in long stretches


    What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

    disappointed

    Comparing Google to an ordinary business is like comparing a rocket to an Edsel. No academic analysis or bystanders account can capture it. Now Doug Edwards, Employee Number 59, offers the first inside view of Google, giving readers a chance to fully experience the bizarre mix of camaraderie and competition at this phenomenal company. I'm Feeling Lucky captures for the first time the unique, self-invented, yet profoundly important culture of the world's most transformative corporation.

    Stephen says: "Definitely worth a credit"

    What would have made I'm Feeling Lucky better?

    A good motive to write it. I couldn't see the point of the book other than to make sure people knew that Larry and Sergei were very flawed and lots of other people really did the work. I heard bitterness everywhere.


    Has I'm Feeling Lucky turned you off from other books in this genre?

    no


    Did the narration match the pace of the story?

    Yes


    What character would you cut from I'm Feeling Lucky?

    The author - substitute him for someone less cynical


    Any additional comments?

    I don't know that this book added anything to the world.
