Karl Pilkington - An Idiot Abroad

An Idiot Abroad is the sometimes hilarious and always interesting travel diary of Karl Pilkington, (The Ricky Gervais Show) as he visits The Seven Wonders Of The World. It's important to note that his friends and co workers, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, have made all of Karl's travel plans with the specific purpose of putting him in uncomfortable and difficult situations. I'm not sure that Karl understood this before he left as he thought the title of the book was going to be Karl Pilkington's Seven Wonders. He only learned the title was going to be An Idiot Abroad about half way through the trip! I really liked the book but I was already a fan of The Ricky Gervais Show. Those who have never heard of it may not enjoy the book as much but I found it to be a great read with some humorous photos as well.
