Sunburn

The Unofficial History of the Sun Newspaper in 99 Headlines

De: James Felton

Narrado por: Alexei Sayle

You should buy this book if: a) you dislike the Sun, but have never actually read it to know why and/or b) you're still not sure how we got into this mess.

Using his famed on-the-nose commentary, Twitter legend James Felton has dissected 99 of the most outlandish stories the Sun (for a long time the biggest-selling British newspaper) has run since it became a tabloid in 1969, hoping to answer once and for all whether the press has reflected - or manipulated - the British people over the last 50 years.

Included: joke-riddled and illustrated analyses of the Sun's most infamous stories about celebrities, war, royals, crime, the LGBTQ+ community, migrants, the EU, politics, bacon sandwiches and page 3.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"An astonishing piece of work." (James O'Brien)

"This book was a delight. Funny, scathing and witty." (Ian Dunt)

"James Felton makes me laugh like a bellend." (Robert Webb)

Can’t. Stop. Laughing.

I’ll be honest: I went into this completely unaware of The Sun, as I’m a Midwesterner. But between Alexei Sayle and James Felton’s twitter, I was 100% on board. And they did not disappoint. James’s humor paired with Alexei’s narration was like a perfect distribution of toppings on a plate of nachos. I might not have known a lot of the people mentioned in some of the stories, but James provided enough information and explanation (and ridiculously funny observations) to keep me interested. My only critique is that it had to end. I’ll definitely be giving it another listen.
