Is It Just Me?

Well hello to you dear browser. Now I have your attention it would be rude if I didn't tell you a little about my literary feast. So, here is the thing: is it just me or does anyone else find that adulthood offers no refuge from the unexpected horrors, peculiar lack of physical coordination and sometimes unexplained nudity, that accompanied childhood and adolescence?

So if i could be as succinct as that (excuse me, there is no need for the 'if only you were' comments ); Firstly, totally classic Miranda; Secondly - eh hello, what more needs to be said ?

However, I am not succinct so here goes. If you know the phenomenon which is Miranda you will either be thinking of buying this book now or deleting me without a second thought. If you like her insanely nonsensical joie de vivre you will love this book because it is Miranda writ large, you hear her voice, you imagine her sideways looks to the camera, you are chortling even now...come on admit it. If you find her puerile and bizarrely stupid you will hate this book because it is Miranda writ large, you hear her........etc etc.

Just in case you are not sure, I am a huge fan. I regularly watch her show with only my niece and a few other friends texting me throughout and I laugh unashamedly out loud. Always a tad disconcerting when sitting by yourself i find but her genuinely lovely personality shines through. I would love her to be my mate because i have no doubt she would make me laugh uproariously. I could bore you with quote after quote from the pages but i shall not cos once I start it would be like when i get together with mates who like 'The Life of Brian' and we wade our way through the film joking and counter-joking our way across the script. Miranda's little memoirette would induce just the same tendency in me i think.

Although it is funny and laugh out loud there is also a theme running through it which is a fabulously important one....be yourself, be happy in your skin and for crying out loud ignore and ditch the haters. One technique she uses is to have her 18 year old self involved in the dialogue. Initially I found this not terribly convincing but very swiftly it became a really clever twist and it served to elucidate and open out some of what she, as the statuesque 38 year old (her words not mine), wished to share.

She makes fun of herself perpetually but it is not the annoying kind which regularly makes me groan at the person's desperate attempt to be liked; she is just funny. please let me quote, please, pleeeeeeease.....thanks

'I need to do something sexy so i opt for the Julia Roberts move, swishing-your-hair-and laughing at the same time. A success ? Or did a gust of wind suddenly fling your hair all over your face and make you look like a caveman ? I did try it once but with short hair it just looked as if i was having a small seizure. No kiss, but i did get a lift home from the paramedics '

Now this just made me laugh. Now I feel I am being drawn to load on the quotes so i shall stop now.

By the way, if you have read this and are none the wiser it is because you do not know Miranda Hart, for good or ill. And I have just two things to say to you; One, 'what i call' a question, Why ever not ? and the second - to make your life fun, get that lack of knowledge sorted....for goodness sake you people in foreign climes, its what Youtube is for !!(less)

I am obsessed with the series I watch it over and over again and this book did not disappoint! I'd say if you don't watch her n the tv don't bother reading because you will just think it all very strange! You have to read it in her voice to "get it"! Very funny, definitely worth a read if you are a fan!

I first heard of Miranda in the TV series Not Going Out and then again in her own show Miranda. Her awkwardness makes her hilarious and my friend can always hear me laughing in her room whenever I watch the show show. Having withdrawal symptoms at the end of the season I decided to find out a bit more and read her book.
The book is divided into 18 chapters in which she discusses different life topics with her 18-year old self - Little M. It's a sort of autobiography with fictional elements but it...more

First off, I picked up this book because it was repeatedly requested by several people in an ebook community. And when I finally found a copy and shared it, the response was astounding. So I thought, well, this must be hilarious, then?

I trudged through the first half of this book from January to February. I didn't find it funny up until the latter half--and I only got to the feeling of 'wait I want to read a bit more' whenever I read...more

I have never watched an episode of "Miranda", yet I found myself rip-roaring though this lark of a book within two days. Although I may only be passingly aware of Miranda Hart's comedy, her outlook on life appeals to me. Like her, I was always taller than everyone else (although not as tall as she) and tried to follow trends in order to "fit in". I wonder how many teenages actually do this? Maybe half of One Direction's fans are just pretending to be fans as that is the more socially acceptable...more

I really really liked this book. If it was possible, I would give it 4.5 stars. I really love Miranda Hart's work in Miranda and her sense of humour is very similar to my own. I really enjoyed the way that this book was written. Being addressed, as it were, by her in the book I thought was a really good way of writing the book.

Miranda is my guilty pleasure. Normally I like my humour to be ridiculously dry and witty, the sort that makes you feel like an intelligent human-being. Falling over and farts are definitely NOT funny. Except, that is, when it comes to Mirnada. For some reason, I just can't help finding her hilarious. I got this book having enjoyed the TV show, and her style of writing is very similar to her style of speaking in the sitcom.

I am a huge fan of the comedian and actress Miranda Hart who is such a funny, lovable site on screen from performances in shows such as Smack the pony, Absolutely Fabulous and not going out as well as the hilarious sitcom Miranda (2009). Her popularity has rocketed since being rightfully identified as the queen of comedy at the British comedy awards, and also when she won several BAFTA’s. Her recent performance as Chummy in the popular and fantastic new BBC drama Call the Midwife was just spectacular, and so hence why many adoring fans will be eagerly waiting finding this book in their Christmas stockings this year. She is naturally funny because of her openness and candid personality that is charming and loveable, and which is also clearly visible within this book. This delightful autobiography about one of Great Britain’s most loved, familiar figures reveals all from the good and the bad, the ups and the downs in her career. From school days to life as an office temp Miranda reminisces about those awkward experiences including the ones that she looks on less favorably, as well as about her breakthrough in comedy and working as an actress. Much caution is needed when you flick through those pages of Miranda as her eighteen year old self that gives you a deeper insight into this remarkable celebrity figure.

Miranda Hart is a national treasure who especially within the last few years has proved her to be worthy of high critical acclaim and most deserved of all the praise and adoration that she receives from many admiring fans. I would honestly have no hesitation in placing her next to Stephen Fry or Alan Bennett, for she is has worked her way up the career ladder and into the country’s affections. If you carefully navigate the awkwardness that is Miranda through and through, you will see another side to this iconic figure who is just as human as you or I and who is pure, unadulterated and totally genius. Unlike some celebrities she is also a great writer who effortlessly puts down onto paper all of her personality and charm, which is as exciting and enjoyable to read as it is to watch the person herself on television. I have to applaud this bumbling, splendid attempt to create such a volume that depicts Miranda splendidly at a young age right through to her adult years, being something to treasure and cherish as much as the person herself. Full of heartfelt sincerity, charisma and cheer this comedy queen gives her unique thoughts and advice on the most challenging, baffling and unconventional parts of her life in comparison with others.

Told in her own unique style this atypical autobiography is truly original and distinctive, and is something that I would absolutely and unequivocally recommend to anyone who watches ‘Miranda’ or to those of you who are looking for something entertaining and truly enjoyable. Easy to read and full of wit this is a book that you will be unable to put down and which had me glued to the pages throughout, therefore I advise that you look closely in your stocking on Christmas morning for you might find a real treat buried inside!

Are you my long-lost twin sister? When I was in elementary school and junior high, I used to daydream about suddenly finding out that I had a twin sister who would then become my absolute best friend because she'd be just like me and understand exactly why I find life and all its little quirks so traumatic at times. She would GET the fact that I was a clumsy big-shoed girl who never really fit in to any clique and was always a bit on the kooky and awkward side because she'd be just like that herself! We'd be able to laugh together at our bumbling attempts to get through this thing I like to call "life" (yes, wrong use of the phrase, I know), to giggle at funny words (made up or otherwise) and to relish making as many puns as possible because they're just so fun! We could ponder the mysteries of life together (including the weighty issues of why it's just so much better to stay at home on the couch than to torture yourself by going shopping for clothes that just never fit), share our absolutely insane love of office supplies and to-do lists and forge a bond that would let us be ourselves in a world that pressures us to be anything but. Sad to say, I never found that sister and I kind of just kept all my goofiness inside, trying to be as ordinary (is there such a thing) as possible in a world I still, as a thirty-something adult, find a bit difficult to navigate. Reading your book and your conversations with your eighteen-year-old self made me finally realize that I'm not the only one who feels at sea in social gatherings and who, more often than not, ends up in some cringe-worthy situation after just inserting my very large foot into my very large mouth. Thank you thank you thank you. You made me laugh out loud on almost every page and made me wish with all my heart that I had your guts to stand up and be proud of the klutzy kooky girl I am....no matter what embarrassing situation I find myself in! As with every book I read, I highlighted my favorite quotes and would have included them here except that there's one from almost every other page...and I have a feeling you wouldn't exactly want me reproducing your book on a review site. That wouldn't be a very nice twin sisterly thing to do, would it? So, out of all my highlighted picks, I have to say that the one I'd choose as my favorite is your absolutely wonderful advice to "Look in the mirror and say, 'There is none other like you and for that reason alone, you are beautiful.' " Thanks for seeing yourself as beautiful, despite all your quirks, and for helping me to do the same. Blood or otherwise, you are definitely my soul sister!

I absolutely loved this book. I read it in a couple of days and had to 'ration' myself to make it last that long. A delightful, light-hearted holiday read, in which you start to enjoy being addressed as "My dear reader chum" and giggle out loud at Miranda's anecdotes and thoughts. The device of talking to her younger self works well and provides food for thought for anyone in their thirties - especially in the technology chapter.

If you live in the UK, then you most definitely have heard of the comedienne Miranda Hart. If you live elsewhere, there's a slim chance you may have heard of her. If you've not heard of Miranda Hart, you should look her up on YouTube as she is hilarious! Her book is also super funny, and I definitely enjoyed it!

In her book, Is It Just Me?, Miranda Hart asks her readers if they've done the embarrassing things that she's done or is it just her. She speaks to her 18 year old self, and also gives us insight into some embarrassing stories. Along the way, she gives us tips in order to have fun in life and to get through life.

I think the title of this book sums it up perfectly!! Miranda is constantly asking her reader chum if it is just her that a specific thing has happened to.

The photo of Miranda Hart on the front cover made me laugh out loud! I lover her perplexed look!! I also love the photo of Miranda on the back of the book as well as she's seen to have just fallen down, and those of us who know Miranda, know she is famous for falling down! I must say I also love the colour scheme on the front cover...Perhaps, I'm just a bit biased as I love pink.

Miranda does an excellent job in giving us insight into her embarrassing moments, most of which are indeed cringe-worthy. I don't think she could have given us any more detail into her embarrassing moments!! (Don't worry, when I say that, I don't mean that it's too much detail to make it boring, but it's enough to make it work).

The pacing of this book was, for the most, part spot on. However, it does become a bit slow in some places, and I found myself zoning out and having to re-read the sentences I had missed. But, as I said earlier, the pacing is actually really good.

There is some swearing in this book although not very much. The dialogue is fantastic and sucks you in. I love the way Miranda Hart engages her readers by referring to them as MDRC (my dear reader chum) as well as asking her readers questions. The dialogue definitely feels like a conversation between the reader and author.

I found Is It Just Me? by Miranda Hart to be well funny. There were plenty of laugh out loud moments in the book, and I was constantly having to read something out of the book to my husband because I found it too funny not to share. This book will definitely keep you in a cheerful mood.

I'd recommend this book to everyone aged 25+ although I do believe those aged 35+ will get more out of it. Nonetheless, it is still a very funny book!

Is It Just Me? by Miranda Hart gets a 4 out of 5 from me.(less)

There’s gold to be found in this one but it’s buried fairly deep.

I really liked the introduction; it was witty, original and promising. Sadly, the rest of the book didn’t live up to that promise. Most of the material seemed like filler between the occasional hilarious escapades from Miranda’s life. These incidents were funny and entertaining but made me wonder if they could all be strictly true; surely some of them must’ve been made-up or played-up for comic effect (...more

If anybody out there in the cyberspacial ether has watched "Miranda" on TV, you'll know the kind of oddball humour that lurks within the pages of "Is It Just Me?" by Miranda Hart. And when I say oddball, I mean unique and uninhibited. Divided into 18 chapters concerning socially-confusing topics we don't always know how to deal with in life, from Music to Dating to Holidays, this book reveals Miranda Hart's thoughts on the problems that arise from them and - sometimes - how to deal with them.

"We all know Miranda Harts to be clumsy, socially awkward and inappropriate and her debut book asks the eternal question, Is It Just Me?

Hodder & Stoughton promoted Miranda’s soon-to-be modern classic (in my opinion) with a promotional ebook, No It’s Us Too! Released about a month before the main event, the free ebook was an amalgamation of tweets and mircoblogs submitted by the ‘general public’, sharing their own embarrassing life experience.

The use of new media to promote Miranda’s manual on life’s least dignified moments contrasts ironically with a chapter on technology’s many and varied ways to embarrass. Miranda and her 18-year-old self, with whom she frequently converses in the book, decide that a day without modern technology is just what the doctor ordered.

A technology-less existence is one of Miranda’s many challenges for her ‘Dear Reader Chum’ and we’re given tick boxes every few chapters to keep a track of all the care-free and crazy antics that will now be filling our lives.

The overwhelming theme of Miranda’s survey of her experiences is that life hasn’t quite turned out as planned; a fair handful of years as an office temp, no foreseeable future in politics and no famous husband – but never fear! Some of Miranda’s least impressive, least CV-friendly moments are also some of her favourite.

Miranda’s final challenge is to be honest about what we really want from life and then to get up and go for it. It’s all very trite and sentimental, but interspersed with anecdotes involving nakedness in job interviews keeps the whole reading experience grounded in honesty and humour.

Not just an ill-fated funny woman, Miranda has proven herself a skilled writer, which shouldn’t be surprising given her screen-writing experience from her comedy sit-com, Miranda. She makes no efforts to hide her boarding school education, in content or in literary style, so I defy you term Is It Just Me? a guilty pleasure."(less)
