Magic Spanner by Carlton Kirby

Am halfway through this book. Seriously, it's as if Alan Partridge wrote it, surprised it wasn't called 'Bouncing Back'. For example "To be honest I hate most of the music Dan (Lloyd) plays...whenever the rap attack gets too much, I just ask for a bit of Richard Hawley to replace whatever garbage I have been subjected to. The only thing in my opinion missing from rap music is the letter C"
All that is missing is the sentence 'needless to say I had the last laugh' replicated 48 times.
Has anyone else read this book?

Don't think I want to.

Magic Spanner has been widely praised, even by some outside the cloistered world of road cycling.

I'm not a reader of cycling books, or books in general, but am tempted by this one.

Hmm...it has a few decent anecdotes but mostly filled with stuff most pro cycling fans already know. It isn't terrible but I have just finished reading The Beast The Emperor and The Milkman which is one of the best books I have read, so Magic Spanner had something to follow.
