A very funny book. I'm glad James Veitch decided to correspond with scammers because hilarity resulted.

If you’ve seen James’s standup on late night or TED talk, this book is filled with those jokes. It always a joy to see the scammer’s get their time wasted and James does it in a funny way. He reminds me of giving the phone to a child when a telemarketer calls.
What I liked -
The jokes - having seen his videos and getting a laugh, it was fun to see these in a compilation format with more jokes than he would be able to do in a video.
The length - it was something I was able to read in a single sitting. Well, as much as a single sitting as a father of five is able to have.

The business is on. I am trying to raise the balance for the Gummy Bear so he can submit all the needed Fizzy Cola Bottle Jelly Beans to the Creme Egg for the Peanut M&Ms process to start. Can you assist with the funds? Send £1,500.00 via A Giant Gummy Lizard.
James Veitch is absolutely delightful.
I don't remember if I found him on my own, or if someone sent his videos to me, due to my own personal propensity for constantly screwing with phone scammers. Once I found him, I watched every TED talk and video he'd made on Youtube, and fell utterly in love with his unique style for dealing with your every day Nigerian Prince in need of funds.
If you're familiar with James, some of these stories are already known to you, but there's even more to enjoy. Even the stories we know, he obviously edited out the boring bits for public speaking, so we get to see just how far he got in stringing them along before things invariably devolved into misspelled cursing.
I don't know if anything gets lost in the text telling of these, as it's impossible for me to read this without hearing his voice in my head. But for anyone who has EVER had to deal with these awful scammers, this is an absolutely delightful and cathartic read.

Some minor language. Couple uses of the f-word.
