My Name Is X and I Am a Cumberbitch

by HarperCollins, Emily Barrett, Alexei Penfold (Illustrator)

*Tongue-in-cheek and totally unhelpful, this little book is the perfect gift for all Benedict Cumberbatch fans*


Benedict Cumberbatch. Does the mere sight of his name give you tingles? Do you feel a cheap thrill staring at the dip on his cupid's bow lip as he talks? Do you secretly wish you could plumb the rhythmic depths of his voice or twiddle your finger in his perfectly coiffed hair? If the answer to these questions is yes, then I'm afraid there's a very great chance that you could be a Cumberbitch.


But that’s actually perfect, because this little book was written especially for you! In this incessantly enlightening guide you’ll find:


- A whole load of (Benedict-related) quizzes
- Motivational illustrations (of Benedict’s face)
- Inspirational quotes (from Benedict)
- And, most importantly, the Five-Point Plan to Dis-Batch your Ben-Addiction


Simple and semi-effective, this is the only guide that promises to combat Cumber-crastination in no time. Hurrah!

When life gives you a Cumberbatch, you become a... Cumberbitch!

Изключително сладка и свежа книжка, която ме накара много, много да се усмихвам. Бях определена като почти на границата към Къмбър-кризата, според Къмбър-метъра... Значи аз съм си била много навътре в нещата, а все си твърдя, че съм обикновен фен... хм...
Забавлявах се :) Дори се посмях. Отпускащо и неангажиращо, то нали това му е целта. Ще си я сложа ей тук, отпред, и ще си я отварям, когато отново имам трудни дни. Тя е толкова мъничка, че е като за джоба ти. Значи трябва да считам, че ще е нещо като личният ми ядове-изтривач xD

Funnier than I expected and more accurate than I feared.

Though I feel being a cumberbitch cannot be cured but it was fun to go through this collectible book I’d say. I had a great time with this book and any avid reader can go through it in one go only. Can be an ideal flight partner as well.

I got this book for Christmas and I had to laugh because it sums me up. It's a small book but full of sketches of Benedict and quotes by him as well as quizzes to see how much of a Cumberbitch you are.

For fans of the man, like me, this is a fun little coffee table book.

For the record, I am a Cumbercookie.

Cute little book. Hand drawn sketches. 80% of the book contains quizzes about how obsessed you are with Benedict. The quizzes don't contain any new information or anything, more like those teen quizzes in magazines. It was cute, but not worth keeping or rereading or even worth the price. I am going to give my copy away to one of my friends.

Ridiculous and completely unhelpful. (Good for a laugh, though, and "the sense of humour is important." -BC) Maybe I'm just incurable. I got a 39 on the starting quiz and an 8 on the final. It's clear this book was not written by professionals in addiction. Oh, well. At least I do not "suffer" alone.

Pretty funny but probably only to those who like Benedict Cumberbatch. This little book was a gag gift I received which served its purpose - it mad me me laugh and blush! I rated it 5 stars not for its content but more for its originality and tongue-in-cheek humor.

Great humor :)
