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"):

I just came here to post that.

Do you think Jolyonisms are infectious?

Is there a vaccine do you think!

I hope not, they're hilarious.

For those that don't do Twitter the next few posts will be the glorious tweet thread above

Sorry my tablet is only letting me attach one per post

Two more after this one

Getting there

Last one

"Giving a speech on receiving the Praeses Elit in Dublin, a prize awarded to those who have advanced the discourse in their line of work and are a source of inspiration to young people, I reflected on Gandalf standing on the bridge at Khazad-dûm in The Lord of the Rings."

Brilliant.

I hope he acted it out.

That Twitter thread is a joy

That wouldn't be the anti-black racist Gandhi though.

Hmmmm. Now im not being funny but our wonderful book on Amazon the reviews have Verified Purchase next to most of them.

NONE of the reviews on this book are from people who have bought it.

Of course for a proper assessment of his reviews you need a comparison

Here's the reviews on the book by some mumsnet posters

Does anyone have a share token to the original review please?

There's an archived copy here: https://archive.ph/RArxA

Yeah, I went as far as buying a children's book to leave a ranty review. I also wanted to see how shit it was.

Those quotes are hilarious. I was wondering what they reminded me of and it just popped into my head...

Adrian Mole! 😂

He grew up and wrote a law book, didn't he? I wish Sue Townsend was alive to see this and be proud.

Here is a new share token for the review:

Thanks so much for the archive link and link to the interview, TheBiologyStupid and Igneococcus. Both are an excellent read! I expect the authors are now on Jolyon's block list if they are on Twitter. I'll need a strong coffee before trying to read the actual book extracts though.

Totally agree.

"I gorged on Toblerone and drove to Dundee in my bare feet."

B3ta could do a quiz to see if you can tell which is Jolyon and which is Partridge.

thanks for the screen shots beetle. actual lols here

'my natural tribe are the winners'

sure Jolyon, sure

Those quotes are just hilarious. He is a reincarnated Alan Partridge.
