David Thorne has quickly established himself as the world’s leading internet troublemaker. Since his emailed efforts to settle an overdue bill with a drawing of a spider achieved massive worldwide online exposure in 2008, millions of people have followed Thorne’s hilarious exchanges with unwitting victims reported via the mainstream media, online and email inboxes globally. Thorne’s razor-sharp writings, compiled in his first book “The Internet is a Playground” say something about everyday life we can all relate to. “If the internet had a heart, David Thorne would be it’s mitral valve.” Mil Millington, Author, ‘Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About’ “There is usually a fine line between genius and insanity but in this case it has become very blurred. Some of the funniest and most clever writing I have read in years.” Terrance Fielding, WIRED Magazine “I laughed so hard and uncontrollably I could hardly breath. Reading this on public transport is not a good idea!” Kate Huchinson, editor, Penthouse magazine “David Thorne’s wit is as sharp, and often as cutting, as a scalpel. Hilarious and brilliant.” Dave Masters, editor, The Sun Newspaper “..one the most entertaining and interesting writers in years.

3.5 This was quite funny.
If you like sarcasm. And are not a friend of all your friendly co-humans... Only advice: Read the original. The German translation was an impertinence.

I started skimming less than half-way through. It was okay and that's the highest praise I can give it. The stories that involve Simon asking for designs for free or his son speaking were probably some of the only funny ones.

Didn't so much read as page through, much like one would a website! Man, am I clever that way, as this started as bits from David Thorne's site, www.27bslash6.com. Thorne is one of those guys who you never want to get on his bad side, or work with, or possibly even know. His pranks are awful and hil...
