Ayoade on Ayoade
Ayoade on Ayoade | Richard Ayoade
17 posts | 12 read | 37 to read
In this book Richard Ayoade - actor, writer, director, and amateur dentist - reflects on his cinematic legacy as only he can: in conversation with himself. Over ten brilliantly insightful and often erotic interviews, Ayoade examines himself fully and without mercy, leading a breathless investigation into this once-in-a-generation visionary. Only Ayoade can appreciate Ayoade's unique methodology. Only Ayoade can recognise Ayoade's talent. Only Ayoade can withstand Ayoade's peculiar scent. Only Ayoade can truly get inside Ayoade. They have called their book Ayoade on Ayoade: A Cinematic Odyssey. Take the journey, and your life will never be the same again. Ayoade on Ayoade captures the director in his own words: pompous, vain, angry and very, very funny.

Immensely silly, made me laugh out loud so many times. Perhaps not as good as Ayoade On Top but then that‘s probably the funniest thing I‘ve ever read, so a high standard to hold it to. Ayoade is so surreal but also puts his finger exactly on what makes wanky film writing so infuriating.

Maria514626 I adored him in the IT Crowd. Put this on my TBR! 4y

#joysofjune totals from yesterday! @Andrew65

Finished off a few (very short) books and managed to read all of All About Love yesterday, and continued listening to the excellent but very long Stamped From The Beginning. I‘m trying to vary my reading for my #blacklivesmatter themed readathon to balance light and dark and make sure I #readblackjoy so I‘ve just started Ayoade on Ayoade. He‘s got to be the silliest writer I‘ve ever read, LOVE him

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm I loved Ayoade on The IT Crowd! I‘ll have to pick up his book soon! 😍 4y
Emilymdxn @Bookwyrm42 I think his best one is Ayoade On Top, great one to start with! But this one is also a scream 4y
MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm @Emilymdxn Thanks! I‘ll check that one out too! ❤️ 4y
Andrew65 Doing brilliantly 👏👏👏 4y

Mehso-so

Not sure... decided about half way through that this is a pick-up-occasionally/dip-in-out book. I laughed very hard a some points early on and laughed again the next day, remembering them. However, after a while I realised it wasn't amusing me in the same way, mainly because I like to race through and Ayoade on Ayoade is too intense for high speed consumption.

This is my #slowread, because honestly, it is too side-splittingly funny to be read longer than in 20 minute stretches. This man is not only adorable but highly hilarious. And honestly, ANYTHING that can make me laugh in the current climate is a very precious commodity. #readjanuary

This is a pretty quirky book to say the least. I'd recommend getting familiar with Ayoade's work before reading. It'll likely make you hear his voice while reading and who doesn't want that?

There's not really an accurate way to describe this book other than that it is wonderfully comedic.
