Bollocks - I Had To Look Up the Definition, Oh My!

What did you love best about It's All Bollocks?

Again, I find that this is related to the British government, monarchy, etc. so as an American I cannot really follow except for the few prominent situations that I recognized.

If you live in the UK, or have a better grasp on the governmental system within, I am certain you would enjoy it, as long as you don't mind the considerable amount of F – bombs throughout.

The narrator has a lovely deep, deep voice and sounds more like a college professor or James Earl Jones then someone who should be reading a comedy. I love the voice and his timing, cadence and would love to listen to him at any time with different material.

Peter generously gave me many of his short stories and I am working my way through them. If these were about American politicians with Peter's sense of humor and dry observations. I KNOW I would be laughing out loud for a considerable amount of time.

Notes: strong language and a few racy comments

Thank you for reading my my review. If you found it helpful, please select yes below this review.

OMG! Hahahahah!

I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into when I downloaded this. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time! To fans of Monty Python, read/listen to this book, you will laugh soooo hard! So much fun, coupled with horrible language, had me nearly peeing my pants! Everytime he called someone a twaaat... Totally annihilated! Love, love, love!!!!!

He says it how it is!

Would you try another book from Angry Dave and/or David T Curmudgeon?

Yes. I enjoy this kind of humour and although I didn't agree with all of it, I did enjoy it.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

He covered lots of topics, not focusing on one thing for an hour and a half.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Possibly. I can't imagine it as a movie. Maybe as a Seinfeld type sitcom.

Any additional comments?

I found that I affiliated with a lot of what he was saying and found those bits hilarious. Having said that some of what he said wasn't so PC and as a parent of children with disabilities who doesn't fit his preconceived mould, I did take offence. I did keep listening though as I do like his type of humour. It was short so easily allowed me to finish it in one hit which is exactly what I wanted. I received this book in exchange for an honest review.

Ranting with STYLE

What made the experience of listening to It's All Bollocks the most enjoyable?

The narrator, Mr. Curmudgeon, is the PERFECT voice for this hilarious collection of rants! In true British fashion, his voice allows you to actually SEE the writers disdain for...well almost everything!

What was one of the most memorable moments of It's All Bollocks?

Kind of difficult to say....since pretty much everything had me laughing. The dentist trip would have to be THE funniest!

Have you listened to any of David T Curmudgeon’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, this is my first.

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

Yes. Even if it was too long for one sitting, WHO CARES?! Just push play...I DARE you to stop!

This is not a hidden gem.

I thought, "It's All Bollocks" was the title. In reality, it's a warning about the content.

Angry Dave:It's all Bollocks

LOVED the narrator 'David T Curmudgeon'!Great voice!

Interestingly Rude and Funny in large doses.

What made the experience of listening to It's All Bollocks the most enjoyable?

The narrator and his British extravagance as well as the writer's contempt for all those Jeremy Kyle, Britain's Got Talent, Botox, ITV, Easy Jet, Losers, HR Departments.

What other book might you compare It's All Bollocks to and why?

probably with the rest of Angry Dave's stories, which I haven't read yet.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

yes, although in the beginning I found it a little bit fast but slow at the same time.

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

yes, all in one sitting of course.

Funny book in the style of a stand-up comedian

Well that was quite something, wasn't it?
Angry Dave seems to have an opinion about everyone and everything - as seem to have many people I encounter. Some things I cannot relate to properly being from "the continent" but some others (like TV, postal service, much of politics) are remarkably similar where I come from. Of course taking the whole thing completely seriously is out of the question, but some points are well taken, although all in all I would have preferred the use of less 4-letter words.
The best, however, is how David T Curmudgeon delivers the whole thing. Thanks for that. It made a dreary motorway ride far more enjoyable.

I Guess The Timing was Appropriate for the Content

I don't really know what to say about this book. It was mild ranting about various topics such as the dentist, ebay, paypal, and other randomness. I felt like I was under the doghouse in a bewildered sort of way. I can agree that it's all bollocks.

While this short had some humorous moments, I didn't find it laugh out loud funny. There were some interesting comparisons but I don't hold the same opinions about certain things in this audiobook. I don't sell this guy short in any way though because I've listened to other work by him that was hilarious to me. Everyone finds humor in different things.

Curmudgeon had a deep, grumpy old guy voice that was actually funny. Still perplexed but anyway, this was at least interesting.

An old fashioned rant...

This is a collection of old-fashioned rants by a grumpy man. He loves to carry on and finds negatives in everything. He also informs us of all that can go wrong does. I found several reasons to chuckle in this. Some of it I could even relate to. To me, the funniest part is I think we all know someone like this in real life!

The author, Angry Dave did a good job writing this. After hearing the material, the cover makes even more sense to me now. The narrator, David T Curmudgeon did well delivering the lines to us. Though it did take me a bit of time to get use to the low voice.
