About this listen
At last, the definitive audiobook about perhaps the best cabin crew dramedy ever filmed: View from the Top starring Gwyneth Paltrow.
In Ayoade on Top, Richard Ayoade, perhaps one of the most 'insubstantial' people of our age, takes us on a journey from Peckham to Paris by way of Nevada and other places we don't care about. It's a journey deep within, in a way that's respectful and non-invasive; a journey for which we will all pay a heavy price, even if you've waited for the smaller paperback edition.
Ayoade argues for the canonisation of this brutal masterpiece, a film that celebrates capitalism in all its victimless glory; one we might imagine Donald Trump himself half-watching on his private jet's gold-plated flat screen while his other puffy eye scans the cabin for fresh, young prey.

I cried
Was actually so fucking funny that I cried multiple times. So wonderful. An amazing book. If you like Richard, go watch Travel Man - a hilarious show.

Richard Ayoade is a comic genius.
His deadpan straight faced delivery of this pice of work is amazing. I couldn't stop laughing.

The magnificence of this book is indescribable.
I wish I could say Ayoade had invented a completely new genre with this book, but it can’t be a genre because nothing remotely like this book could ever be created again.

If you are a fan of Travel Man and Gadget Man you will enjoy this book. Richard's weird and unique humour comes through in a big way.

You should probably watch the movie first
I know, it’s a weird thing to say about a book but given that this book is about a movie you definitely won’t get it unless you’ve seen the movie first.
Highly enjoyable. Laughed out loud a number of times, which probably made me look like a crazy person as I walked down the street.
Don’t care.

Best book I haven't read
Honestly, it is the funniest and most well thought out book I've listened to.
His review of the movie view from the top is not only inspiring but made me a better man.
This book is what I needed in my life.
Ever since I heard of it, I said to myself: "Did he just made a masterpiece of literature"?
Yes he did.
Seriously, this book was the highlight of my year, Im so glad I listened to it.
Brilliant!
Thank you for publishing this book.

Hilarious
An excellent book to read, I'm sure, but listening to Ayoade's voice delivering his own beautifully written satire is worth choosing the audiobook.
