For those of us in the US who are not able to read these in the papers, it was a hilarious but thoughtful read. It gives perspectice of the irritatingly, ridiculous struggles that modern farmers endure every single day. Jeremy Clarkson is always his charming, blunt self which makes this book even more entertaining. You can't help but read the entire piece in his voice. Loved it!

A heartwarming read. It will give you a laugh and tell you thinks about UK country life you didn’t know. Whether those things be real or imagined. It’s clear Jeremy has found his new calling and is loving it.

Great follow up to the first book and the series.

Diddly Squat by Jeremy Clarkson is a rip-roaring, belly-aching, and utterly delightful trundle through the muddy fields of farming - Clarkson style. Picture this: a man known for his high-speed antics and acerbic wit, tackling the slow-paced, earnest world of agriculture. It's like putting a fox in a hen house and expecting eggs for breakfast! But here's where Clarkson, with all his motoring bravado, surprises us. His foray into farming, chronicled in this gem of a book, isn't just a series of slapstick misadventures (though there's plenty of that); it's a heartfelt, earnest attempt at mastering the art of farming.Through his humorous Sunday Times columns, now brilliantly collated in Diddly Squat, Clarkson swaps supercars for tractors and takes us on a joyride across his land. His trials and tribulations, from battling the weather gods to wrestling with red tape, are narrated with such wit that you can't help but chuckle. Yet, amidst the laughter, there's a resonating truth that strikes a chord, especially for those in the farming community. Clarkson sheds light on the harsh realities of farming - the skyrocketing costs, the thankless hard work, and the often overlooked struggles of farmers in a post-Covid world. It's a rare glimpse into the life of those who toil to fill our plates, told through the eyes of a man who's more at home on a race track than a crop field.For Clarkson fans, Diddly Squat is a no-brainer – it’s classic Clarkson, with an agricultural twist. For the sceptics, give it a whirl; you might just find yourself chuckling despite your reservations. In essence, this book is not just a hilarious account of a motoring journalist-turned-farmer; it's a hat tip to the unsung heroes of the farming world, served with a side of classic Clarkson humour. So, buckle up and prepare for a bumpy ride through the fields of Diddly Squat. You're in for a treat!

Jeremy Clarkson! Eigentlich muss nicht mehr gesagt werden. Wer sich bereits an der Amazonserie Clarkson‘s Farm erfreut hat, wird das Buch auch zu schätzen wissen.

This book embodies the classic Clarkson style, brimming with his signature wit and humor. However, this time it delves into a new and more serious facet of his life. Amidst the backdrop of the Covid pandemic, Jeremy embarks on a farming venture on his long-held piece of land, following the retirement of his farm manager.The result is a narrative that showcases someone venturing into unfamiliar territory, navigating the world of farming with determination, despite lacking expertise, and often disregarding well-intentioned advice. Comprising a compilation of his Sunday Times columns, the book exudes a delightful and uproarious charm that is undeniably captivating.
