The World of Karl Pilkington Hardcover – January 1, 2006

Listened to the hilarious Ricky Gervais show podcasts years ago watched the animated series HBO had bought the cds (couldn’t get the boxes special) and now I finally have the book with Karl’s drawings and all!

Karl's illustrations alone are priceless!!!, a must-have for any XFM/podcast fans.

Karl has an uncanny ability of keeping you entertained with his endearingly stupid theories and off-on-a-tangent stories. No book has ever made me laugh so hard.I did have one or two issues with the book. After every few chapters, there's a small piece handwritten and doodled by Karl. The writing on these pages is just too small. Unfortunately, it's a picture, so it's really difficult to read properly on a kindle and more trouble than it's worth to change the page orientation or zoom in to little pieces at a time and keep scrolling back and forth, left and right, just to read a single line of text.The other issue is that they add in a little piece on the end from Karl's diary, which would be great if they didn't cover the contents of his diary in an earlier chapter. You have that feeling that you've read all of this before, which is sad because that's the last bit of the book (which is too short to begin with) and it doesn't really end with a bang because you feel like they're rehashing something you've read already.By all means, buy the book. It grips you from page one. And those minor annoyances take nothing away from how funny the rest of it actually is.

I'm a big fan of the podcast and audiobooks so great to have it documented in a book! Love it!

I love reading about Karl's outlook on things. I sincerely wish that he would get back to doing his radio shows and TV shows.

I love Karl Pilkington to death and also the Ricky Gervais podcast. With that said, all this book is, is a transcript of the podcast.

If you just talk... Your mouth sorta... Comes up with stuff.

I bought this after watching the show An Idiot Abroad. Karl is both a simpleton and in his unique way a philosopher. Fun read that gives you more insight into Karl's mind.
