Publisher's Summary
Read by Diane Morgan as Philomena Cunk, the star of Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe and Cunk on Britain.
Once in a blue moon, a book comes along that changes the world. The Origin of Species. War and Peace. 1984. The World According to Danny Dyer. And now, Cunk on Everything: The Encyclopedia Philomena, by Philomena Cunk.
Philomena Cunk is one of the greatest thinkers of the 21st century, and in Cunk on Everything she turns her attention to our biggest issue: why are there so many books?
Wouldn't it be better if there was just one? This is that book - an encyclopedia of ALL HUMAN KNOWLEDGE, from sausages to Henry of Eight to Brush Strokes to vegetarian sausages.
Listen to it, and you'll never have to read another book again.

Samey
I really enjoyed this to begin with but as it continued it became very samey... and I am only up to the letter D! Without the other people's input, like in TV show, Philomena's usually excellent character doesn't have anyone to bounce off and it all becomes a bit monotonous. I am sad to give a bad review as I loved the TV series. I am going to stop listening for a while and maybe if I pick it in a year or so it will be funny again!

Funny, but perhaps better to read than as audio
Enjoyable audio, however the encyclopaedia format can get a bit repetitive when listening for large durations. I can imagine the book would work better if you want to put down and pick up at different points.

Everything you need to know you thought you knew
Not much to say really. Clearly a bestseller, even though it isn't. To compare the words in this book to Shakespeare would be blasphemous. But I will anyway, because he doesn't care, because he's dead.
It's the best thing since sliced bread. And probably the best thing since before sliced bread, but we don't know what happened before then, because that was the start of time.
This book is really good if you never finished school, or didn't go to school, or don't even know what a school is. All the education you need is in the pages of this book. Or if you're listening, the voice in your ears.
Philomena is an expert is several fields. Football fields, polo fields, tennis fields, rugby fields. The list goes on.
If you're still reading this review, why? Stop, download the book and listen to that instead. It's better and easier because your brain doesn't have to read.

Simply put, you either love Cunk, or you don't. And honestly, I absolutely love this clueless but somewhat intelligent character. She knows so much yet absolutely nothing, it's absolutely amazing.

Jin Rou wanted to be a cultivator. A man powerful enough to defy the heavens. A master of martial arts. A lord of spiritual power. Unfortunately for him, he died, and now I’m stuck in his body. Arrogant Masters? Heavenly Tribulations? All that violence and bloodshed? Yeah, no thanks. I’m getting out of here. Farm life sounds pretty great. Tilling a field by hand is fun when you’ve got the strength of ten men—though maybe I shouldn’t have fed those Spirit Herbs to my pet rooster.

“The Heron” is the nickname a big-city accountant has attached to himself in his new home near San Diego, where he’s using the alias to avoid a hit man who may be after him. It seems a former client believes that The Heron has skipped town with several million dollars not his own. Don Winslow’s ensuing, entertaining yarn is by turns twisty, dark, and comical as we observe the delicate dance between the pursuer and the pursued.

After dying and being reborn into a world that's built like a video game, Jim has found himself stuck in a very old-world style new-player zone for low-level adventurers. Unfortunately, the zone fell out of use centuries ago, and no one told the monsters they were supposed to take it easy on the Noobs. Even worse, the only new player around is Jim. Jim has been given an opportunity, and he'll do his best to take advantage of it.

Hilarious, fascinating, and a roller coaster of dizzying, historical what-ifs, Napoleon's Hemorrhoids is a potpourri for serious historians and casual history buffs. In one of Phil Mason's many revelations, you'll learn that Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the Cuban missile crisis, when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel. You'll discover that before the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's painful hemorrhoids prevented him from mounting his horse to survey the battlefield.

When Kate wins an item at her children’s elementary school auction - an all-inclusive trip to SeaView at Sandpiper Bay - she thinks it’s just what her family needs after a decade of career disappointments and a marriage on its last legs. She has no reason to believe that said trip is a Fyre Festival-level fraud and, in fact, the catalyst to her unraveling. But it is. Oh, but it is.
