I find this pure unadulterated joy. I bought this while at high school and dipping in to read one or two (or more) entries always bring a smile to my face. ( )

Hilarious book I read as a kid. ( )

"The book of heroic failures" is, quite simply, one of the funniest books I have ever read. If you're like me and enjoy reading about the complete bugger-ups of other people (and I think you are) you'll piss yourself laughing throughout "The Book of Heroic Failures".

I've always been a fan of spectacular failures so I really enjoyed the many spectacular tales of failures and flops. Who could forget the infamous 1912 Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race where neither boat was able to finish (and one rower wandered off at a critical moment to chat to his old chum Boswell)? Or the amateur soccer team from England that accidentally found itself playing against a professional German team (the German fans ended up cheering the English team whenever they went near the ball)?

Over two hundred pages of heroic failures, and almost everyone a gem. ( )

LOL. No, seriously, that's my review. It's that funny. ( )

A book of funny stories about failure in all aspects of human activity. The stories are funny, but not something I would only read once. ( )

This is a collection of low points in a number of industrious people's lives. Not for reading when one is depressed, but maybe not when one is feeling good, either. A classic of Schaudenfreud. ( )

There was many people's story in this book,but they are not success stories.They are failure story.For example,drivers who cannot drive,travellers who get lost all the time,and policemen who cannot catch criminals.Suprisingly,those are all true story.

This book is full of funny stories about people who do things wrong.Because there are many funny stories in this book,I felt so interesting.Failure makes us sad,but Failure give us a new chance.We should never give up. ( )

This book collects many failures which were actually happened.

If you read this book, you will laugh at and be surprised at many unbelievable funny stories. ( )

This book introduce various stories.And this has 7 chapters.There are many short stories in the chapter.I introduce a story in the book.
A man went to America from England to meet his sister.He was going to meet her at the aiport.He met three women there.They talked with.He thought they are my sisters.They were going to their home by taxi.In the taxi,he was surprised to hear their talking.He run away quickly.
This book introduce various fauls.This is very interesting.But there are difficult stories.I didn't understand. ( )

This book is funny short stories.All people in this book are really bad at something.For example,Drivers who can't drive, Weather report which can't give people a weather report!Surprisingly, these are all true story!
I think all stories are very unbelievable and very funny.I like a story about Weather report which can't give people a weather report.I also like The Least Useful Garage.I'm interested in these funny people. ( )

This book is so fuunny.
I could not help laughing.
And this book is easy to read, so if i have time, I want to read this again. ( )

Probably funny at the time before the market was swamped with such books ( )

this book contains of many funny story. example,draivers who cannot drive, polisman who cannot catch criminals.
One thing i can say about this book's good thing, is all stories are true!
i notice me again, there are many kinds of people in the world. ( )

Many people's story of the failure was interesting and surprised.
I had not read comedy in English, so I was excited. ( )

I was atracted to picture of book cover.
This book have many short story, and it is interesting.
However,it is a little difficult to read because this book is Level 3. ( )

After many re-reads I still find this book hilarious.It's difficult to pick out one or two examples from so many,but let me have a go-
The Worst Bus Service-Can any bus service rival the Hanley to Bagnall route in Staffordshire.In 1976 it was reported that the buses no longer stopped for passengers.Councillor Chalerton stated that if these buses stopped to pick up people it would disrupt the time-tables.
The Least Successful Exhibition-The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents held an exhibition at Harrogate. The entire display fell down,
I must admit that it is rather difficult for a book to get me to laugh at all,let alone to laugh out loud. This one does just that. Worth its weight in gold. ( )
