Mildly amusing ramblings September 16, 2008
John O'Farrell witters on attractively, but never hits the heights of "It Can Only Get Better" - the book in which he definitively nails the right-on eighties.
Enjoyable January 1, 2008

I enjoyed the collection of articles and some were very funny, along with an occasional groan for the rather clever puns. I did find his book Global Village Idiot, containing some of his earlier articles, better however.
Alternative Chronicle of the Blair Years December 8, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
`I Have a Bream' is the third collection of John O'Farrell's Guardian columns following on from `Global Village Idiot' and `I Blame the Scapegoats' and as before O'Farrell continues to make fun of politicians and current affairs is the same vein as he mined as the principle writer of `Spitting Image' and `Have I Got News For You'.
As ever O'Farrell hits the target every time weather comparing Tony Blair's assent to the head of the Labour Party with identity fraud or rewriting evolution from man's evolving from the ape's to going full circle with the re-election of George W. Bush.
O'Farrell has now stopped writing his Guardian column but these books stand as an alternative chronicle of Tony Blair's premiership. John O'Farrell, like a purple flour filled condom, hits the spot.
 Very funny in bite size chunks! November 7, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I bought this having loved 'An Utterly Impartial History of Britain' and though it doesn't set out to be as informative or as comprehensive - this is a very enjoyable book in a different way. Each bite size article tackles an issue that has been in the news which makes it the perfect travel companion or bedside read. I particularly enjoyed his hilarious account of standing for Parliament in his (true-blue) home town.
