That is a real book King Boomer , you can also get an audio version of it. I was on holiday in Thailand and took the book with me. It was that funny that rather then go out and get drunk I actually stayed my hotel room reading it till i finished it. Then I went out and got pissed as a fart. Its well worth a read or listen to if you prerfer audio.

He's also written (with his writing team) 'Nomad' and 'Big Beacon'. Big Beacon involves a graphic sex scene, which is...I don't want to say disturbing but it's in there, it's 'creatively written' and goes on for quite a while. Try not to have a load of hot coffee in your mouth when you reach this part.
@SSurname-mi1wuАй бұрын
I think he's mentioned before that he can't get into audio books and prefers the actual physical act of holding a book and turning pages. But the audiobook is wonderful.

"I, Partridge (we need to talk about Alan)" is a real book (written by Coogan as Alan) and is an 'autobiography' of Alan's life. Hilarious to read and even funnier listeniing to the audiobook which Alan narrates.

The cars mentioned are specific as he's interested in them. He spoke to Clarkson about the importance of him driving the right car to capture the rights times (for example think company reps pounding the motorway and being the sort of people who can be found at 2am in garages... who can't quite afford the top car offer from work but have chose the right spec below).
