Smart and hilarious. . this is James at his entertaining best * Daily Express *
Irreverent and funny, clever without being cynical and not afraid to flex his wits on anything and everything * Daily Telegraph *
Warm, witty whiplash prose . . . the talks read as well on the page as they sounded on the radio * Sunday Times *
