Let Me Off at the Top!: My Classy Life and Other Musings

OK lets start by saying that anyone picking this book up and expecting it to be a 5 star masterpiece is clearly deluded. I read a few of the reviews before I paid the princely sum of a dollar for my copy, and there are some seriously deluded people - yes the book is ridiculous - of course the book was going to be ridiculous, how could you expect otherwise? But it was kept strictly in character the whole way through, a self-centred, highly opinionated, sexist, racist and ludicrous character - exactly as one would expect from a Ron Burgundy comedy biography.

I am just going to plough on assuming there is nobody reading who doesn't know who Ron Burgundy is, but I guess if Anchorman and Anchorman 2 are not on your radar, neither should this book be (or my review) as none of it will make any sense - it will appear to be the raving of a lunatic (accurate) with an extensive ego and a book out to slander tens of real life people from news anchors and actors to presidents and politicians.

I found a few laugh out loud parts, plenty to smirk about and even more to shake my head at, as I struggled to join the dots of relevancy. There were red herrings and nonsense a plenty - all as expected.

Only recommended for a/ Ron Burgundy fans, and b/ those who find it for a few bucks.

3 comedy stars.
