Resumen del Editor

Why is every film or tv programme a sequel or a remake?

Why are people so f***ing hung up about swearing?

Why do the asterisks in that sentence make it okay?

Why do so many people want to stop other people doing things, and how can they be stopped from stopping them?

These and many other questions trouble David Mitchell. Join him on a tour of the absurdities of modern life - from Ryanair to Richard III, Downton Abbey to phone etiquette, UKIP to hot dogs made of cats. Funny, provocative and shot through with refreshing amounts of common sense, Thinking About It Only Makes It Worse celebrates and commiserates on the state of things in our not entirely glorious modern world.

Great, great, great

Multi-universe humor, with clever insight into politic, life, TV... and so on. Delightfull story jumping from one topic to another. David would make great Prime Minister and definitely make a change, at least his salary :)

On Point, Great English Humor

Pretty good reading. Mitchell is a really funny author and he’s the best one to read his own work. His inflection makes things super funny. His stuff was written in 2014 but is still relatable to 2019—it also provides lots of insights into previous world events that make me glad I listened to this book.

Excellent, if UK-focused

A wonderful writer and excellent narration, but the content may sometimes be a bit too UK-specific for audiences abroad.

Hilarious

I couldn’t stop laughing. I love Mitchell’s voice and his witty remarks. I downloaded all his books. Love them

great humor about politics, stupidity,and politics

there I said politics three times! this book is written with British politics in mind but applies to just about any political structure anywhere. it also talks a lot about the economy social weirdness and the human condition.

there is a fair amount of foul language in this book so listen to beware but I loved it.

Witty and cerebral

A pleasure listening to this warped and funny writer.
His sceptical rants and delivery are hilarious.

He always cracks me up!

I love David Mitchell and what I loved particularly about this book is you can just start and stop as you like. It's perfect for driving and walking and you don't really need to keep track of what came before to enjoy the next chapter.

Saucy! not at all what I was expecting!

just kidding, this was exactly what I was expecting because David Mitchell may be my favorite person on this planet whom I've never met and I like people I haven't met better than most (ok all) of the people I have met. Thank you for this wonderful book Sir Dave!

This guy is hilarious!

I am going to look up everything this man has written and buy it. Laugh out loud funny.

Not your mom’s watery 2% satire. Full-fat sardonic brutality.

My biggest take-always from this were that I’m offended by all the wrong things, and the British monarchy is more useful than most Americans think. I don’t know what to do with this information.

If you’re fully satisfied with the things from which you derive your offense and prefer not to audit them, I do not recommend that you read this book. For everyone else, it’s a witty, insightful romp through the socio-political issues of the last decade that will leave you with things to think about. Thanks a lot for that, David Mitchell.
