Journal Entry 1 by WormyOne from Brighton & Hove, East Sussex United Kingdom on Monday, September 30, 2013
This is a birthday present from a friend.
The blurb reads:
"In Moranthology, Caitlin Moran 'gets quite chatty' about many subjects, including cultural, social and political issues which are usually left to hot-shot wonks and not a woman who sometimes keeps a falafel in her handbag. These subjects include...caffeine, caravans, Wales, Sherlock, David Cameron, looking like ham, 'The Big Society', sexy tax, binge-drinking, the gay moon landings, Paul McCartney, failed nicknames, Ghostbusters, being poor, Obama, the welfare state, big hair, squirrels' testicles, Wolverhampton, party bags, chivalry, Rihanna's cardigan, Amy Winehouse, transsexuals, nutter-letters, hot people".

Journal Entry 2 by WormyOne at Brighton & Hove, East Sussex United Kingdom on Thursday, December 19, 2013
I was pleasantly surprised by this book, partly because (along with many others according to one of the articles reproduced here), I assumed that her opinions would align with Rupert Murdoch's (and therefore clash with mine), because she writes for The Times.
Instead, I found I agreed with almost everything she said.
That's not all though. She also said it in a wittier and more engaging way than I ever have. She's got a great way with words (lipid, roiling oomska anyone?) and an excellent eye for a hilarious simile.
There were too many TV reviews for this non-TV owner but I'm sure that won't be a problem for most readers.
