Is It Just Me?

By: Miranda Hart

Narrated by: Miranda Hart

Length: 7 hrs and 21 mins

Publisher's summary

Well hello to you dear audiobook browser. Now I have your attention it would be rude if I didn't tell you a little about my literary feast. So, here is the thing: Is it just me or does anyone else find that adulthood offers no refuge from the unexpected horrors, peculiar lack of physical coordination, and sometimes unexplained nudity that accompanied childhood and adolescence? Does everybody struggle with the hazards that accompany, say, sitting elegantly on a bar stool; using chopsticks; pretending to understand the bank crisis; pedicures - surely it's plain wrong for a stranger to fondle your feet? Or is it just me?

I am proud to say I have a wealth of awkward experiences - from school days to life as an office temp - and here I offer my 18-year-old self (and I hope you, too, dear listener) some much needed caution and guidance on how to navigate life's rocky path. Because frankly where is the manual? The much needed manual to life. Well, fret not, for this is my attempt at one and let's call it, because it's fun, a Miran-ual. I thank you.

Critic reviews

“That personality and voice belong to a uniquely cherished comedian” ( Daily Mail)

“This is pure, unadulterated, totally genius, Miranda. A cult (would religion be too weighty a word?) must surely follow, where can we get the T-shirt?” ( Red Online)

“I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of Miranda Hart's new book - we should all embrace our inner Miranda gene and learn to laugh at ourselves.” ( Daily Express )

“In her brilliantly funny book, TV's Miranda muses on some of the most challenging, baffling and 'hideola' aspects of life... all the anecdotes are told in her unique style, with regular interjections from her 18-year-old self. Such fun!” ( Star)

“Is Miranda Hart a National Treasure yet? If not, it can only be a year or two before she joins Stephen Fry and Alan Bennett in the trophy cabinet of the country's affections... That personality and voice belong to a uniquely cherished comedian, and the answer to that question in her title is actually, yes - it is just her. Because there's nobody like Miranda.” ( Daily Mail)

“Funny and charming and full of terrific comic ideas... Unlike most comedians, she can actually write... Every Christmas there is, at the very most, one celeb book that is genuinely worth buying and reading. Here is this year's. Accept no substitutes.” ( The Spectator )

“Miranda Hart will carry you along with the sheer force of her charm, bumbling cheer and charisma.” ( Sunday Express)

is it just me, or is Miranda Hart truly amazeballs

Miranda is a comedic gem. If you've seen her work, this book is for you.

Everything I dreamt it would be and more

Truly delightful from beginning to end. I only wanted more. I encourage all to listen to, instead of reading, this book. Miranda Hart's reading of it is everything.

narrated by my favourite celebrity!

I've been rewatching Miranda for many years, at least twice a year, and I finally found this extra piece of gem written and narrated by Mirada like another season of Miranda. Everything feels so genuine and fun!

A Book I will listen too over and over again!

Oh Miranda, thank you for this book. The book brightens even the dreariest day. And no... it's not just you!

Great!

Wonderful comedy book performed by the author in just the perfect tones and perspective! Terrific!

I love Miranda Hart

I would love it if there is another book. Her sense of humour is adorable.

Just like Miranda

If you could sum up Is It Just Me? in three words, what would they be?

It really is just her! Funny and engaging.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Obvious answer here I would think!

What does Miranda Hart bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

If I was reading this I would hear it in Miranda's voice, but the reality is better!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It was, but I did it in bite sizes.

Any additional comments?

I don't think this is the 'real' Miranda, the book is more fiction feeling than reality - but thoroughly enjoyed it nonetheless.

Hilarious read

Great way to get a good laugh in while relating with the author on many different levels. Would recommend to my friends and family.

Such Fun!!!

Amazeballs performance by the way one, the police, Maranda heart. She was Brillo pads and such fun to listen to!!. I cannot think of anybody else reading this audiobook.

Miranda had written so much of my life

it was a relief so listen to this book, and know that I am not alone in this world of oddity, that the weird and wonderful but mostly embarrassing things that I do, others have done similar, and its ok. I am thankful to hear about the weird dreams, the stories that I tell myself, I'm not alone in my weirdness and that it's ok.

Thank you Miranda for this book. It may have been written 10 years ago, but it is perfect for me in 2024 xx
