How to Land an A330 Airbus

And Other Vital Skills for the Modern Man

By: James May

Narrated by: James May

Being given yet another pointless 'man manual' that told him 50 ways to tie a bow tie in under 30 seconds made James May certain there was a need for another kind of book. This book, in fact. He reckons there are nine vital things that a chap should be able to do.

Not stuff you can download from the Internet, but really important things. You never know when you might need to land an A330 Airbus, or deliver twins. And there may well be a moment when being able to play a bit of classical music on the piano is absolutely crucial to your success with women. So read, learn, and be prepared - you'll wonder how you ever lived without it.

James May At His Best

He May have been known as Captain Slow, on “Top Gear,” but reveals his many talents in this book. He has a great British type of humor that enables him to make even the most dreadful hypothetical situations, hilarious. Not to mention the fact, that it is possible some of the scenarios, in this book, could actually happen.

James May is a man full of talents. Have an amazing imagination, and a great ability to convey them.

Entertaining.

It was an interesting and enjoyable book. James adds plenty of dry humor and useful facts along the way. Worth a listen if only for fun.

tonight!!

james reads a book, Richard has a crash, and Jeremy stays out of it. I could have done without the cannibalism part but other than that it's good.

It’s fun

Well if you like James May you would find this quite fun and entertaining walking you through several odd predicaments you may find yourself in at some point in life or not. Wonderful narration by James himself.

Not as good as James May's 20th century

20th century was more informative and entertaining. This was still very good. James May has a great voice for this.
