Jolyon Wrote a Book

[Igneococcus]

I'm not sure if he mentions his battles with GC women in it because the review doesn't mention it but I thought some people here would like to read the review. The reviewer doesn't think much of it and that is putting it mildly :)
"Bringing Down Goliath by Jolyon Maugham review — the pompous bloviating of a Twitter KC" (I had to google "bloviating"):

Can I go and clap this reviewer on the back?

He looks as though he's about to break out in a song.

I'm a little teapot...

So the TL:DR for this book by the kimino'd one is "I'm a genius and a hero and the law should be what I say it is".

Have I got that right?

Said in the withering manner of Capt Mainwearing

Puts him in the same category as Boris Johnson.

Arf.

I heard the reviewer being interviewed on times radio on the radio last night and they were laughing about how bad the book is.

How funny! Couldn't happen to a nicer man

Here’s Naomi Cunningham’s review of R M White’s book as a follow-up, because some things never get old. https://www.legalfeminist.org.uk/2021/09/02/a-practical-guide/

Seems like the review has touched a nerve with our Jolyon 🤣

oh man that was a fun read, thanks for posting

I see your "Arf" and raise you "Arf, arf" ...😁

is anyone 'pro-climate change'?

Racist? Yuan Yi Zhu against Jolyon?

Oh that review is brutal. "Does Penguin no longer employ editors?" has me crying.

Perhaps pontificators are a race now.

Yeah @LizzieSiddal the photo pose is of an abusive man stopping you from leaving because you are required to submit to more if his pomposity (or worse). A bit Raab perhaps? Very unpleasant. Odd that he thought it a good one to choose.

Oh how I have laughed and laughed and laughed at this.

Thank you Yuan Yi Zhu - also I had a good chuckle as he linked to the article on Twitter with 'My review of the most important legal book of 2023'

😂😂😂😂😂

Some of the glee on Twitter over this is marvellous to read. Thank you OP for linking to this.

JKR 😆

She’s brilliant

Now people are mentioning the picture thats quite the lean he’s got there, do you think he sort of ‘fell’ into position or was there someone going ‘back a bit, bit more, bit more…’

Very good

His response to this review is so telling. What ever happened to being good humoured and laughing at yourself. No, the author must be an evil right winger who is secretly a puppet master running the government.

Is this the review of a book or a set of bundles? Mixed up and hard follow?

I did enjoy that. Thanks for the sharetoken op

Wait - who is he? Why do people here hate him? I googled and didn’t click on any links but didn’t find anything particularly!

I don’t hate him…I don’t know him

I don't hate him just think he is an idiot with far too large a platform to speak nonsense
